ok, for some reason all my pings are like 600ish in Q3, RTCW, MOHAA, jk2 and more, but I went to DSL reports, and ran a speed test and my d/l is 741 kbps and my u/l is 102 kbps, any ideas whats happening?

Your bandwidth has nothing to do with your latency ("ping").

you might want to jot down some of the IP's from servers you were having problems with..

then use the trace route utility in the network utility (osx)

see if there is a router somewhere that is giving you probs..

really can't do anything about it (except bitch at your isp) but at least you will know

might be a dumb question..but..you aren't running a p2p file sharing programs are you?

I know some people forget and leave them on.
just wunderin..

either way, the traceroute should tell you where the bottleneck is..could very well be a bad router with your isp.
