Gaming latency issues

[Cold123]

While playing a game called world of warcraft(not sure of how many of u are familiar but if you are maybe you can help me out) my latency bar has been 500+ for the last day or 2, and is currently spiking to 1200 and makes it unplayable. It is normally under 150. Everything else works fine, AIM, IE, and every other internet program i run. Any ideas why this game is any different? thanks.

Whos your ISP and what connection do you have?

I have heard from my roomate that the ping in the WOW servers have been really bad for a couple of days.

My ISP is adelphia powerlink, cable connection, and yes the past few days the servers in general have been very laggy but last night the servers were restarted and the lag was fixed, but mine was not ive asked around and there doesnt seem to be anyone else having this problem.

You aren't dl'ing or upl'ing are you ?
Do you have lag in other games ?

 

[Cold123]

No i have barely any other programs running, just ventrilo. And no im not lagging in any other games, but nobody else on my server is lagging so its not the server either.

You're a liar. I've played the game at 2500 and I can still play fine.

Try reseting your modem and doing a repair in the internet connection icon in the control panel?

Hahaha. Wrong. I have T1 connection, man. I said I've played it like that before, and I could still play it. I did not specify where I played it, did I?
