hey,
For about a year now, I have had incredibly bad internet, and i mean incredibly bad. I will log into world of warcraft and start out with a latency around 300ms (because i have vista) but it will skyrocket to around 3400ms, which is extremely unplayable, and you would know if you played the game. i checked wow forums to see if they could help and i tried their security tweaks but it only solved the skyrocket problem for about a day. I realised it wasn't only wow when i tried playing Halo online, just to find out halo had super lag, with a ping of 1472ms. i find this really weird because anything that isn't internet related on my computer goes really fast.
here is what i have tried to solve the problem, (but it didn't work):
1. disabling mcaffee firewall
2. disconnect and reconnect my dsl cable
3. reset my router (brand is 2wire)
4. checked for trojan or spyware with Malwarebytes, HiJackThis, Mcaffee, AD-Aware, Norton internet Security, Spybot S&D
5. adding additional fan to case (don't ask me why i did it)
i am really sure i have no viruses or spyware, other vista users only have about 3-500 latency when playing wow, where as i already said i have 3000, i have not tried to beat up my computer, and the only possible things slowing internet down could be mccaffee firewall, th distance my dsl cable is travelling from router to computer, an xp computer on same internet connection and maybe Sasktel being the ISP.
Any Ideas on how to solve my problem will be greatly appreciated. the person with an idea that solves my problem will be God in my eyes
