I talked to my isp and they only have 2 dns servers. One primary and one secondary. But I checked the videos again today and they work fine...idk gamespot might just be setting stuff up for e3 and that created problems. But thanks for all the help guys!

Well I have had some trouble in the past with my dns. I get invalid url messages in google chrome and stuff. I just usually open command prompt and type in ipconfig/flushdns and everything's good. So the whole dns thing really makes sense to me. Is there anyway to get my isp to change the dns server i'm on?

oh wow. Thanks I didn't know about this. That thread is locked though....

ok well thanks for the help guys. Don't think i'm gonna be getting a new isp anytime soon! haha. i'm in canada not the states but the weird thing is, it always worked. And idk one day it just stopped! haha well thanks again for the help

Anyone have any ideas? haha i just don't want this to ruin e3 for me! lol

eset security. And when I server trace it seems to connect to them all fine. The only thing that changes is my ping which makes sence because the servers get farther and farther away.

no and dsl

I've tried it on chrome and Explorer. And no i don't download things in the background.

This is really starting to tick me off. Is there some setting on my router i need to change or something? I tried the link again and I got a steady 50kbs! euch.

hmm i just tested that link again and almost had 400kbs which is still not full speed but way better than 82...This is weird. This problem seems to just come in waves. I have also done speed tests on speed test.net and downloaded a file that my isp told me to download to check my download speed. And those speeds all stay consistent....oh well it works now. I'll comment again when it's broken i guess! haha Thanks for all your help
