My connection is fucked.

Here's the deal.

Something is wrong with my net, and it is most evident when I am gaming.

Normally when I play on my favorite TFC server, my ping is 10-12 when the server is empty. That's not the case anymore.

Ditto on FF - my usual ping has anywhere from 30-100MS added onto it. It's the same for World of Warcraft when I play on my favorite server.

Now, for a sec I thought I might have gotten my connection throttled by my ISP - but I do a speedtest and everything works fine. Better than fine. My speeds are what they are supposed to be.

The most annoying part of all, however, is the lag spikes. My ping will jump from 50 to 500 for a tenth of a second at most - the only reason I notice it is because I have net_graph on (I turned it on after the problems started cropping up).

This is really fucking up my timing in TFC and FF. I spent two years honing my concing, my timing, when to throw a nade, etc., and these friggin' lag spikes are throwing me off. Help!

Reset my modem per the advice of one of my best friends, fixed. Stupid head cold has been interfering with my ability to, ya know, think and shit.
