Hello, Hello.

I have been havin' a lot of issues with my ping lately, mainly when in online games, But..Outside of gaming as well, spikes anywhere from 20-200.
Now, Before this last week, It was only every now and then, But it now seems that it is in constant spike. Hanging from 90-200 in game, and outside of game, 80-600. I am currently using 1mb internet. I have tried and checked many...many things..

Such as, Checking my PC for Viruses, Malware, Adware, Checking all the household lines, Power cycling my modem, and router, Checking that there is no downloads going..Checked the signal on the cable modem..(It's fine, btw.) You name it, I have pretty much done it...and all of this has so far yielded no results. Was curious if you all had any suggestions?

I have already contacted my ISP, and they made a horribly mediocre attempt at fixing and helping me..and JUST to give you a clue at how clueless my ISP is...They somehow think a 200 ping is acceptable for online gaming, As told to me by the tech I spoke with, Who was obviously hired from an ad on the back of a box of Fruit loops.

So, thanks for reading guys. :)

EDIT: Also, Forgot to add, Whenever I ping my default gateway, It shows spikes..20-200..Dunno if that helps..But there yah go..
