getting LAg in any STEAM game

[Shep_Cobain]

I have recently got Sky Broadband 8mb.

I have Vista x64 & 8800Ultra, Q6600, 4GB memory etc... also i am conencted to my router via a wirless PCI card.

Any game i use in steam has a high ping and lag spikes...

Every so often the game will pause for say 2 seconds and then i will either be dead or somewhere i didnt want to be on any STEAM game.

Any suggestions?

nothing fixed it .... that Vista Anti Lag just made the problem seem a little better but it still existed...

Ive gone Wired straight to my router now and its spot on but my Ping is still the same in any server - 50 - 111 Ping...

Im on Sky Broadband and its 8mb... on speedtest websites im get like 7100k download and 350 upload.

And when i download im getting like 400 - 800 kb/s download speed.

Cant think why im getting so much lag. My mate who lives about 5 mins away is getting like 20 - 30 ping?

Any suggestions?
