No idea why, but I've been getting 200+ ping lately. It's pretty terrible, and it's not like I'm paying for rock bottom speeds or anything.

Dont have other things downloading/uploading while playing, pick servers closer to you, or switch ISPs.

Not much else you can do.

What the uninstall script didn't work? Odd. Works for me all the time, i've used this on my past 3 installs of windows.

Yeah don't know. I installed it and lost internet connection, never got it back (even uninstalling the program). Had to system restore.

I think it did something to the TCP Packets that made the connection overflow with transfer of data or something along those lines.

If you are very competitive with online gaming, you might consider the Killer 2100 gaming network card. I plan on buying one when I build my next computer. The main advantage to this card is that it has its own processor. That means that your system processor doesn't have to do anything to control the network card. You won't have ping jumps because of your system processor being bogged down with the game.

WOW, that looks like a great product. If it's true that is and not all marketing just to sell. As for "You won't have ping jumps because of your system processor being bogged down with the game.", doesn't ping have more to do with Distance from Server and Internet Speed?

This is a bit off-topic for the Games forum, but feel free to ask again in the Hardware forum. :)
