Here is what happens: I join a server and seem to have a low ping at first, somewhere from 60-110, but after about 5 to 10 seconds, it's 300, then 400, 500, etc., until it finally ends up at 999 and refuses to come down. My friend has the same ISP (Communicomm) but just alittle faster, and his ping is static around 20-100, and has never experienced the problem I have. I just built a new PC, and it's done it on this one and the last. I called the ISP, and they don't seem to understand what is going on. Another thing, I have a router, I don't know if that could be the problem, because there are SOME occasions where my ping is static at 60 or so for hours at a time. Browsing speed is fast, however.
