How would the time of day affect my ping to American servers only and not European?

The pings are pretty consistent at all hours, all tests were done in the middle of the day. I don't think that the time of day would change how I'm pinging to American servers only. It really makes no sense that I ping so high only to US servers..

Okay after looking around and connecting to various servers.. I ping 150 to servers located in Europe, primarily the UK.. this seems normal to me. However, the servers I ping 400+ to are all located in the US.. Is my ISP confused on where I am living or what? I can't figure out why I can ping ...

This is my first encounter with CoD4 having any network issues, and that includes playing steadily at two other locations.

What do you mean Tossica? Are you implying that my issue is unfixable?

Well... I found a random server I ping fine to.. but that's what.. 1/10000 so I'm completely confused now. Could it be that my ISP just doesn't ping well to certain, random locations?

What does that mean in stupid-people terms?

Here is a tracert to my usual server... I don't know the intricacies of interpreting these but from what I can see there aren't any major issues.. I'm stumped.

Well, if that is the case why do I only encounter lag when playing CoD4 and no other games?

So I am currently living in a student oriented apartment complex that provides highspeed internet access. Each bedroom is equipped with an ethernet jack. I have been playing a lot of CoD4 over winter break and upon returning to school I have found that I regularly ping 200-500 while playing from my ...

I suppose I'd like to spend around $1,000.. I want a rig that will play CoD4 Crysis etc and be a stable gaming machine for 4 years or so..

So I'm thinking about building a new PC. It's been a while since I have even looked at hardware and I feel a little bit out of the loop and nervous to buy without a lot of opinions. I want to build something with a good bit of staying power, but I also don't want to throw money around like it's ...

I recall some discussion of Westinghouse HDTVs but I couldn't find them via search. I'm trying to narrow down some affordable HDTVs for the apartment. The main thing we will be doing on it is playing xbox 360. Right now we probably won't being paying for HD Cable, but it is definitely a possibility ...

So I'm a poor college student who can't afford a nice HDTV. Recently I was given an old school rear projection big screen tv from way-back-when. I was wondering if anyone knew enough about them to give me some advice for tweaking it to get the best quality picture out of, especially when playing ...

Mario Strikers Charged is amazingly fun and addictive.

I've had a mini bench that has 4 different incline settings and a set of dumbbells ranging from five to forty pounds. But then again, I have been doing low weight circuit work outs and not body building type stuff. I suppose it depends on what you are looking to accomplish.

So I've been messing around in Fury Beta this weekend and I am disappointed to the point of utter disgust. The game is awful. It is the MMO equivalent of a bad arcade button masher. Anyone else in this beta?

I got it today and it is pretty fun so far, not easy either. I'm a little upset though, the game itself was cheaper than the arm strap and headphones I got for my iPod.. go figure.

Someone hold me.

And it's only $30? Might have to go and get it this afternoon, haven't played Resident Evil since PS1.

How is the response on shooting and such? Are the controls smooth or is it choppy and difficult like Call of Duty?

Yeah, I read the review this morning with the intent of getting it later today.. It made me pretty sad I guess I will get Paper Mario, has anyone played it?
