"High Ping" All of a sudden

[CColtManM]

I have enjoyed BF2 for months now with low ping servers, but all of a sudden, this week, my ping has jumped into the 200's for no apparent reason. I have also noticed this in programs such as eDonkey, and can't pinpoint it.

I have Comcast Cable and have never had slow downs before. I have ran tests online at broadband sites but they seem to be nice and fast, it's as if a program will cause my internet connection to slow down.

I have no firewall up, and have ran virus/spyware scans allready, as well as a defrag.

Any ideas? Or ideas to troubleshoot the problem?

Re: "High Ping" All of a sudden

Do you have a router or switch? if you do try reseting it(unplug it for a min or two, then plug back in again). The router sometimes has a sh!t fit and stops working at 100%. Try that and get back to us, also post your system specs.
