Ok, here is the story.

I call my ISP tell him that the pings to all the servers I have been getting is well into the thousands! And maybe 600 to New Zealand servers I would usually have a ping of 44 to maybe 120.

They insist that everything is tickady boo on their end, and nothing appears to be 'wrong' as such on my end, I just have really big PINGS.

I have a PING of 44 to 76 doing a trace rout and ping to the ISP's IP. Then I Ping discovery and the area where the server is located. I get around 355 to 376, but when I go into Freelancer, low and behold it indicates a wonderful ping of 1830, then I refresh a few times, and it drops to a steady 800. Like there is a difference!

I ping Aussie Call of Duty servers at 640 to 800 and New Zealand servers in general at about 630. I use Speedtest.NET for my speed tests. I get a ping of 120 from a wellington server that is 50 miles away. yet the Auckland server, that is about 80km away gives me a ping of 600+

I have done the following things:

-Disk Cleanup
-Defrag
-Windows Network repair
-WinStockXP network service repair tool
-Virus removal (Avast Pro, Spybot, Ad-Aware Second edition)
-Router restart (left for 2 minutes)
-Router clean out (Dust removal)
-Switched ports with connection cable

To try:

*Windows Repair
*Format (NOOOO!!!!)
*System Restore (Never works)

I have a 256k connection I am caped but have used about 1MB of my 300 per day.
