Chhers for the replies.

This problem isn't recent, about 6 months. Everything was sweet until nilly put in a new pipe due to overloading and then hey presto, bad CS

Many people on the adslguide forum stated that they had/have problems similar to mine but many more responded that they weren't affected and therefore these 'whingers' were generally brushed off and told to go and get a degree in networking before they post again...

I think it may be a contention issue but why would I get consistently top d/l speeds(58kbps+) and at the same time suffer from this horrendous lag?

After my frustration last night I have calmed down and will give no doubt try to play some more games, I just realised that I've been a -=DVF=-'er for over 2 years now so i can't go just cos of a shit ping can I?
