Hi, been having probs lately with my gaming pings spiking a lot. Going from mid 40`s up to 150`s. I`m with Tiscali on 2MB service. In past month I`ve moved house and in doing so have upgraded from 1MB service & got myself a Belkin high spped modem/router so that wife can email on other computer. Though I hard wired modem to my PC to lessen impact on gaming. High pings happen regardless of the other computer being on. Could be ISP, I suppose, but I`m literally a stone`s throw from exchange & speed tests come up good. So i`m looking at other possibilites. Read somewhere anout switching from dynamic IP assignment to static one. Will this give me any advantages/improvements? What does everyone think?
High Pings- Would Static IP help?

Ok. Have known about Tiscali`s bad rep but to be fair they haven`t been too bad in past. Few times where I was tempted to seek better elsewhere but really big price difference & then there is the whole hassle of moving!! So not much I can do to eliminate ping spikes then... thanks anyway.
