Prediction is not ping, it sure depends on it.
All games have some kind of prediction, otherwise you would need to wait until the packet goes to server and returns with the new position and if in that case u don't have 0 ping you would see the game teleporting.
Pred, predicts your movement (actions) before the packet confirming your input is received, so it feels smooth, though, if you have a lag spike when you receive the correct position the client has to correct it and the only way is "teleporting" you or the typical lag effect, i think the problem is basically your internet, you may have slow upload/download speed or someone is downloading.

Thanks for the explanation.

But what exactly mean those numbers?
For example, 40 ping and 60 pred.
So if i have 40 ping then i have 60 "real ping"? Moving packet to the server and backward?

Pred also includes e.g. the time it needs to calculate the data recieved and sent. So it is not just the pure internet-connection. Also pred seems to get calculated more accurate and frequently, while the ping in the scoreboard isn't really proper (last thing according to deen).
