WTF INTERWEBZ!?!
« on: October 08, 2008, 01:21:27 AM »
Ya so I do not know what exactly has happened but for some reason, today, my internet wen throgh the roof. On average I get around 80-100 ping at most. Then randomly and w/o warning my ping has sprung up to 300. and it is like this in all games i play, WoW, TF2, etc.

I have no clue what it si, I have 2 laptops and one I have usually downloads. That one is now off, and it is still the same. I then made sure im not uploading or downloading anything. Again nothing has changed. Then I uninstalled things that usually cause issues. AGAIN nothing changes. I called the ISP, on there end I am running perfect speeds. I run my own speed test from http://speedtest.net/ and it says I have a ping of around 280, usually it is around 70. I have tried everything, and my ISP has told me to give it a day to see if it just blows over, I am less optemistic as it is slower now then when it was originally starting (some games are literly unplayable).

I am using a wired modem, got anti spyware and anti virus both up to date and both scans are clean. I am starting to lose patience since this should not be hapening and makes no sense. Anyone have a suggestion?

It can be ur modem. I had a modem that was acting up for almost 4 months and then eventually the thing went up in smoke. I can guarantee its ur modem.
