Internet speed is spiking.
So obviously my internet speed is spiking. Noticed since I was in a game playeing an saw that everyone's ping went over 400, wich means that I'm the one lagging. This is not just 1 game, but every game I play. And I do not have screenlag. Everything runs smoothly aside from the ping.
Also, I should say that this PC (Windows 7) was purchased recently, like 1 week ago. I think I had this problem from the start. Then I should also say that I've ordered a router, since we also have another pc, wich is my sister's. I'm currently using the internet cable of that pc. So bascily, the cable gets switched everyday between those 2 pc's.
The problem does not occur with the other pc by the way. Its Windows XP. So then I'd assume something's wrong with my pc.
I tried downloading a new driver for the Network card but it said there were no better or new drivers available.
Another thing I noticed is that the Link light on my modem does not shine continiously. It shines for like a second or two and then stops shining and starts again. On the Windows XP it does shine continiously.
Also downloaded Everest to check the Network card out, and saw that Bytes Sent and Bytes Received was also spiking. Dropped from 1000+ KB/s to 1.5 KB/s and most of the time stays around 1.5-60 KB/s.
My Network card: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet
Things I tried:
Plugging out modem for 30 seconds - Failed
Searching for new driver (Network Card) - Failed
Thanks in advance.
