I have serious ping issue when playing counter strike. My ping just bounces between 20-80 constantly which makes my bullet registry horrible and unplayable. Also every 5-10 minutes it goes up to around 150 for a few seconds then drops back to 20-80.
I have Time Warner Cable (TV and Internet) Roadrunner Turbo 1mbps/10mbps.
System Spec:
Windows XP
Dual Core X6800
8800 Ultra
4GB Ram
300 GB 10000RPM WesternDigital
300 GB 7200RPM Hitachi
I tried almost everything I can think of.
1. I check for spyware everyday so that is not the issue.
2.This doesn’t happen just during the core times when everybody in the neighborhood is using the internet but during the whole day like 4AM etc.
3.I checked if any software is running in the background, and also run->cmd->netstat gave me like 5-7 TCP lines. I uninstalled all anti-virus software, and have my windows firewall off.
4.My counter strike rates are updaterate 101 cmdrate 101 rate 25000 fps_max 101
5.I have no loss or choke ingame.
6.I check my bandwidth at speedtest.net pretty often I get around Download 9900 kb/s –
Upload 990 kb/s.
7.I’m using wired connection through a wireless linksys router (WRT 310N), also tried connecting directly from the modem but I still have the issue.
8.It’s not the server side’s problem, because I’m the only one in the server that has this issue and all the servers I join I have the issue.
9.I’ve tried this system at another house close by that has Roadrunner, and I get perfect ping. I did change the HDD and memory after that but it doesn’t give me any problems so I doubt that is the problem.
10.Updated all hardware drivers.
11.Called Time Warner but they said there aren’t any problems with the connection on their side.
I just moved into my apartment and I have to live here for at least a year with this bad connection!! Is there anything else I can check?? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Plz help!!
