Lagging In Games

doodah · 6 Aug 2006 at 19:51

Very annoying problem. All my games over the internet lag. Happens all the time on ET - ping spikes up to 1000 (normally around 30-40) when it happens. Just been playing CSS, same thing but dont notice the ping spike (unless im just missing it). Im with Virgin (2Mb - 8Mb no where to be seen yet :rolleyes:

), anyone else with Virgin have same problems? Are there any tweaks i can do to improve it?

Web browsing/downloading is all hunky doory and im running through a router.

PS - Thanks in advance tolien

Tried all those, still no luck.

Registered with them tonight.

Went on a sever which has real time stats and every time it did it (about every 1.5-2mins) the loss and choke gauges would go up and then back down a few secs later.

And it acts as if i have just picked up all my weapons straight after... :confused:

Yeah im thinking its my router (wireless). Playing CS last night against Gord and my ping spiked but stayed high, checked wireless connection and it dropped to 5Mbps from 54. Moved router next to my computer now (was floor below) - if it presists, will plug in Rj45.
