Ok, I've came down to a solution to dump my wireless and install DSL. After a couple of days the lagness starts to rise while loading pages. Some pages would even not show up right. Like the TechPowerUp! Forums picture will be vertically standing in the corner. The User CP will be besides the New Posts laying diagonally. I've try cleaning the cache with CCleaner. Repaired connection, flushdns, unplug and replug, restart... Nothing..... And games also have a problem. I mainly get up to 60 FPS average. But now it average at 2.4 FPS :confused: :confused:

UPDATE: And to mention what are the last things I did: Playing SF and MS. Installed IDT HDMI drivers. And not to be stupid but the VERY last thing I did was opening up the computer in safe mode.
Edit: I will soon do a virus/spyware scan to see if anythings wrong and update/reinstall drivers.

see how it jumps to 185ms right there for a second? you probably have a problem there.

Porbably... Thats what I'm trying to figure out. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
 
umm, that woudlnt be your problem it would be outside your stuff, like, ok if you think it might be you or inside your network, ping your router

ping -t 192.168.1.1

and if that ever spikes then it might be, but its prolly outside your network

I trying doing the ping thing and they all got :

it looks to me like that 4th hop is broken, all you can do is give this information to your ISP and if they will fix it then yay and if they tell you something weird then you should get a new isp
 
Something is wrong with your ISP provider. Try hard resetting the gateway. That should reconnect to the ISP and hopefully get you a better connection. Make sure you have DSL filters on all used lines in your home. Perhaps call you ISP and they will ping your gateway to see where the problem lies.
 
nvm I solved the problem. The ethernet connector has tons of dust and is extremely hot causing the internet to slow down. I unplugged the ethernet, went to school, came back, and replug. :D
 
Eh? Dust? No. Because that would have caused a problem WITHIN your LAN, or if the dust was on the router to wall socket... then on your second hop to the ISP, but not the 4th hop, from the ISP to other internet addresses.

Must be coincidence. Probably a router/DNS server down at the ISP, now fixed, or you are now connected to a new DNS server due to the fact that you unplugged your router and got a new IP.

****lesson****
If you've got a bad connection, try rebooting the router. Not to fix YOUR router, but to get a NEW IP address from the ISP. This new IP address can sometimes be "requested" be soft booting from within the 192.168.1.1 admin panel.
