Hey all,

Summary
---------
Well basically, I have very good Broadband, I will explain details later and I can't seem to play ANY online games during certain times of the day. This is because I either don't manage to successfully login or I get disconnected / lagged out less than 5 mins after I log in.

I notice that I have extremely high pings too.

It seems to be very random, I sometimes lag between 3pm - 11pm, sometimes 8pm - 12am, sometimes 11am - 4pm.. I notice I'm mainly experiencing serious lag and high latency during evenings.

I meet all the RECCOMMENDED system requirements for all the games.

Details
-------
OS : Windows Vista
Graphics Card : ATI X1300 Radeon 510mb
Memory : 1022mb
Internet speed : 8mbs or 8mpbs (not sure what you call it)
ISP : PiPex

My PC isn't exactly a crappy one.

This is how I connect to the Internet.
Phone socket => Phone line => Microfilter => Router => Ethernet wire => my PC

Solutions I have tried
---------------------
Reinstalling game clients.
Redownloading game clients.
Restarting PC and Router.
Disabling Firewalls.
Run Spyware/Adware Scans.
Removing and then Reinserting all connection items, microfilter, phone line, router etc.
Restarting PC (obviously)
Turning off Startup Items
Enabling/Disabling Checksum Offload
Emailing Pipex => No reply for 3 weeks, still waiting.
Emailing Acclaim (one of the game companies) => They told me to restart my PC, wtf lol...

I don't think it's anything to do with Portforwarding because some of the time I am able to play the games absolutely normally but when I can't get on one game, I can't get on any others either.

I surf the web super fast. I download with speeds of around 700kb/s

Conclusion
----------
I appreciate that this is a long post and if you don't want to read it, thats fine. I have tried to make it easier by making my post more pleasant to read by splitting up paragraphs and subsections.

If theres any more details you want me to include, feel free to tell me.
