As above really, I can play killing floor for as long as I want on my own and it works fine, but if a friend comes over and plays on the same server, after around 45mins it start going really laggy, with pings going up to around 1400ms, this can be fixed for about two minutes by rebooting the router and access point.
The same thing happens if I watch online TV, I can watch most of an episode of Misfits, but always the last 5 minutes or so it starts buffering every fews seconds (very annoying when trying to fap to the hot one).

Does anyone experience similar, or know what it could be?

I don't think it's the router (funkwerk R230aw) or the wireless point (WRT54GS running ddwrt latest firmware), as I don't see why it wouldn't do it all the time.

It happens on my laptop, media pc and my dad experiences similar things on his pc.

I'm not sure who our broadband supplier is, as the people we get it from are just resellers, but does it sound like they are throttling the broadband or something?

Thanks for any help, it is getting rather annoying...:mad:
 
I'll see if I can dig out a Dlink I have somewhere, althought I seem to remember ditching that for some reason :-/. Cheers, will try that. Any other ideas?
 
i had an issue similar to this about 8 months ago. Turned out my broadband modem-thing just didn't want to live any more. Virgin brought a new model and since then it's been rock solid.
