said by Bixkat :but a ping of ~18000 in game is just unsat.
A ping that high is usually going to be an upload/upstream problem. Connect directly to the modem and watch your pings. Be sure you're not running anything else. Don't run torrents, World of Warcraft, or your favorite fetish website. Do this with TWO different computers if possible to eliminate the possibility that one of them is infected with something. If your latency is normal then something on your network is likely using up all of your upload bandwidth.
If your latency continues to be extremely high and you're SURE that nothing was running on your PC's during the direct connect test, then send sdl_l3tech a message on these forums to look further into the problem.
