yesterday my internet became really slow. i was trying to play COD WAW on PS3 with a wireless connection like i always do and i had one bar whcih was red. lag was too bad to play.

i have a desktop computer with vista32bit that i built myself (gaming machine)
-comcast internet
-linksys 300n wireless router using WEP
-xbox 360 hooked up to my pc monitor with wired connection
-ps3 hooked up in my front room with wireless connection
-macbook on wireless connection

i did not change any settings on my router.

i tried power cycling the the modem and router and that did not fix the problem.

i have the basic internet package from comcast, iv done spped test on dsl reports and speedtest.net. my bandwidth is fluctuating up and down. one test will be normal speed and then next time it will be .5Mb/s down and even less for the up. of course when i call comcast they say that it looks everything is fine on there end. i then run the ethernet cable fromt the modem to the pc to bypass my router and the speed test results are the same.

does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? im dieing withough my COD. iv tried multiple games and they are all lagging.

anyother info you guys need please let me know.

this has been going on for about 48hours. comcast never told me that they were doing maintanence.
