I recently built a new computer with the following specs:

BFG 9600GT
Intel q6600
2 GB Corsair xms2
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Windows XP sp2

With my previous computer, my ping would be around 60-70 to any server. Now with the new set up, I am getting 150-200 ms to any server in any game.

Internet service: ATT Fastaccess DSL Ultra
Modem: Westell 6100
Router: None
Drivers: Up to date
Firewall: None
Anti-Virus: None

Things I've already tried:
Using a different phone jack
Using different wires
Using a different dsl filter
Using a different modem
Using a router
Using wireless internet
Reinstalling ethernet drivers
Using a network card
Calling ATT (They even sent a technician, and he couldnt fix it)

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Also. I live about 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, and this ms shouldn't be happening:
 
Have you tried putting in a second NIC and see if that makes any difference? I would try that, it IS possible that your on-board NIC is hosed up.
 
yeah. I went out and bought one yesterday. installed it, and the problem was still there. I'm going to be returning it sometime this week.
 
with the same network equipment? if yes then i don't understand why search the problem in it...
the problem must be within the NIC or OS but i tend to think it's within the OS , check for programs which are using your network , maybe spyware or so
 
You could do a NETSTAT -a to show all your current TCP connections and take a screenshot for us. This might show us if you have any nasties or bandwidth hogs running

apparently it came out a lot smaller than my screen. =\
 
do you have anything like zonealarm running some AV software hogs BW when updating. is it the same ping when steam is closed?
 
it looks like interleaving is on adsl line

login into your modems webgui and go to Statistics then adsl and look for "data path"



heres a example

ok yea its interleaved, interleaved increases your ping by at least 20-30ms, you could try to give your isp a call and ask to be switch to "FastPath"

it looks like they may have switched you to interleaved because of your signal levels

also try a speedtest to miami your getting bad routing to the ft lad one
 
They keep trying to tell me theres nothing wrong, and they say theyre going to run some tests. They put me on hold, and they hang up on me. I get the stupid "please hang up and try again" thing, so I know theyre hanging up.

I'm calling and asking for the supervisor now.
 
att aka windstream is an absolutely terrible ISP, if they werent the only dsl isp here id switch in the blink of an eye
 
I got it switched to fast, and that solved the problem for now. Thank you mumixam. If there are any future problems, I'll be sure to post them!
