It seems that when I try to connect to Texas my ping goes up to 800 :confused: . Can't be my graphic card since I just bought a new one and the old one is only 2 months old. Comcast refuses to check out my issue, I have e-mailed them four times an each time they reply with "We are unable to assist you with your connection." :eek: Any ideas?

Graphics card has nothing to do with network traffic/latency. Try doing a traceroute... start-->run-->cmd-->tracert site.com


Paste your results for analization.

Ok, these are two different IPs I have tried to traceroute. The second IP tracert I tried finally gave me the goofy results I was looking for.
