I have broadband but on every game I go on I get ridiculously high ping, even on local servers. Does anyone know why as it's really pissing me off. Thanks

high ping is not just due to the bad internet connection. video lag, sound lag, virus, spyware, worms, or so on, could cause the high ping. not enough Ram could cause the problem too. P4 3.2GHZ kingstone 1GB DDR 3200 ABIT AS8 mobo Nvidia geforce 6800 128mb Soundblaster 24-bit audigy 2 520W PSU

but do you feel any lag? cuz i play CS:S at home with my DSL. and i got 60-110 ping, but i dont feel any lag. P4 3.2GHZ kingstone 1GB DDR 3200 ABIT AS8 mobo Nvidia geforce 6800 128mb Soundblaster 24-bit audigy 2 520W PSU

I don't get lag on CS:S, but I get stuttering all the time and it's really annoying. I get lag on BF1942 and Unreal 2004 and sometimes get a connection error. I dunno what's up with my connection, it was fine on my old computer.

what does it say P4 3.2GHZ kingstone 1GB DDR 3200 ABIT AS8 mobo Nvidia geforce 6800 128mb Soundblaster 24-bit audigy 2 520W PSU

It usually just says "connection error" or something along those lines, it differs depending on what game it is.
