• OK, now all that looks good. The tweaks are fine know.

• Can you run a LQT and post the URL? »/linequality

• Can you run a tracert to one of you game servers that you are lagging on?

The LQT looks normal. There is slight latency at your hop.

tracert
Open a Command prompt Start >>> Run >>> Type cmd

In the Command Window type .....
tracert (game server name or URL)

tracert dslreports.com (example)

Your troubles start at hop 10 and go down from there. Your 2nd hop is to the CO. It should be lower, but not a deal breaker. Then at hop 16 the latency spikes. It looks like after leaving LA it goes overseas to Korea (?).

Unfortunately there nothing that you can do about it. The only thing that you can do is to talk to your ISP and show them the tracert.

Here is what I get.
