Lag

Having some weird ping spikes when I'm playing cod1.. don't know what's causing it. My internet seems fine in other games.

Are you downloading anything? Torrents or otherwise?

Graphics settings?

Not downloading anything, and my graphics are at 800 by 600, high settings. But keep in mind, I said ping spikes, so it has to do with connection not with the graphics.

Ok, Is anyone else on the same internet as you like a brother or sister during the time you are playing?

Im hearing the same thing, from other server users. So it could be a issue with the servers. We reset the main vcod box to see if it helps.

As for that Sniper, usually bandwidth only comes into play when you're A.) Either on a network in a business setting and everyone is getting on or using the internet at the same time

or B.) When you're in a larger community area such as an apartment complex that only offers a few different types of internet services and everyone gets on at the same time.

I'm assuming Jackson lives at home with his parents and possibly 1-2 siblings, and depending on the internet service in his area, the bandwidth shouldn't be a problem.

Ok well i guess that clears things up for me because thats what i was told so anyways i try to help but im not too techy.

Haha it's okay, I'm not saying it can't be the cause, but it's not as likely. Most cable companies are switching over to fiber optic cables to make there service more efficient and increase bandwidth. The apartment complex I live in, however, only offers Dish Network, and some small time company called Ygnition, and every evening at the same time (between 5-10 pm central time) my connection gets slow because of the increase in traffic volume since everyone is getting home and getting online and staying online before going to bed.

Yeah, I live at home with my parents. I actually work with my dad, haha. Thinking of moving out soon though. I do have a brother, but he usually doesn't use his laptop when I'm on. Plus, this is the first time that this has ever happened.

little bit..

Haha, it's okay, ever since I got set up with my new cable company, my ping rarely falls under 100 in CS:S, CoD4 and most of my other games

My ping is around 40 as well being that Jackson and I dont live to far apart.
