Perhaps you have a slow connection? Or are on WiFi? Either that or something is seriously hogging up your bandwith.

maybe its your compy or your internet connection...i rarely ever lag and when i do its mostly because i've got SRO AIM FireFox and a virusScan going...i have a shitty compy don't laugh at me

Probably you're downloading a file, or someone on your network is.

My upload speed is abysmal when juxtaposed with my download speed.

I would have expected them to be at least remotely close.

Upload speed on consumer-level cable and DSL lines is always much lower than download speed simply because the vast majority of customers have no reason to need fast upload, and so the network is not optimized for it. I have heard that DSL gives slightly better upload speeds than cable, and there are always premium packages and commercial-level deals that can give much higher upload speeds, but they cost quite a lot.

Stole my little secret didn't you? Jk LoL. As soon as I read this post I was like hmm isp problem! Thats exactly what's happening to me right now. I think I posted this link somewhere here before but atm all I can do is log on to stall or chat cus playing = lag death until my ISP fixes it

So sorry if I'm not in Pacific for a few days and now I'll never catch up to Kitty's level haha

yea its all up to the isp,

before 24mb/s - lagggggy
after 8mb/s (other isp) - logg in on first and No lagg

(said this before in other thread)

Sometimes when i'm lagging especially bad, I usually check my firewall and notice that i'm getting spammed with packets from the nederlands or china. I usually reset my modem to get a new ip from the isp and it fixes itself for a while. Maybe you should try that. Also, any upgrades to your system are helpful too.
