I Cannot continue playing with such long delays when other users have 50-200 ping, Please help if possible, Ill post some information below,

Location: England

Computer: Acer,AspireM3621, Intel Pentium Dual core, nVidia Geforce7100

I'm not a Computer pro, so honestly, I have no idea what that means.

    Are you getting so much lag in specific hours?

    If so then it's isp problem, call and tell him the hours your ping is high, have a ss with pingtest too just in case he asks.

    During rush hours, as far as an network technician told me, ISP fails to send the right ammount of power needed for a stable fast connection(not all, just usually small companies or so).
    If you're using more than 1 phone line in your house, try unplugging the cords and leave only router on, should help minimize the issue.

    Also knew that if you changed the serverlist to ip addresses instead of link it supposely makes the ping less. Been long since i last used it though so i don't have them.
    Do a forum search if you're interested in trying that.(Had used it when i had often dcs-helped a lot)

    I can say that my ping test registers fine and since that one patch, my Ping has been ALL over the place and laggy as heck...

    TBH, I know it is not my connection as I have run numerous tests, as well as on my computer.

    Ichi I feel your pain...we have talked about this. I remember when I got to 30k ping in HH and laughed...b:surrender

    If someone like me who lives in a 3rd world country has 500 ping.

    Then yes, you do have a problem you sweaty idiot. <3 Ichi.
    "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

    If you use wifi - try to connect with cable.
    Also check any downloads/torrents and off all.
    If all still bad, start command prompt (XP: Start -> Run -> enter "cmd" -> OK, Vista: Start: enter cmd in search field), end type in black window:
    pathping 216.52.95.9
    Wait till end and copypaste result here. Do it in moment of your crazy ping in game.

    Not "ping" - type "pathping".
    And for copypaste text press top-left icon (near title of window) - "Edit" -> "Mark".
    Select all text with mouse and "Icon" -> "Edit" -> "Copy".
    Now can paste ;)

    PS: or tracert, yep, but pathping is like tracert but with long time testing of each internet routing.

    PPS: oh yes, and for west servers ip is 66.151.144.80 (216.52.95.9 is for east)

    Check you PC for viruses first.
    With this for example http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/ in safe mode (reboot and before 'starting windows' message press F8 many time -- safe mode in menu).

    Ah, ok :) But u can check with Kaspesky too :) Because new viruses very hard to detect.
    Just because overloaded internet channel and strange programs troubles look like virus/worm action.
    Also you can visit this site http://virusinfo.info/index.php?page=homeeng&langid=1 , do all steps from "how to submit" and post result - people there can help you (or if they say 'all clear' - 99% what all really clear :)

    I find that after (like i mean the moment it is 4:01) PM EST my ping will go from 140 - 300

    to 8,000 - 24,000+
