Internet is flipping out, unbearable lag. Desperate for a fix.

[Divaya]

About two weeks ago, this wasn't an issue. Everything was smooth, all my games played fine.

It started in CS:S when I was getting massive freeze ups followed by large jumps. TF2 started to spike every 5-7 seconds, and now most of my online games are lagging constantly, with the exception of WoW.

I need some help, I can't bare this any longer.

There's only two people on the router, me and my brother. We're on Shaw Communications (extreme) which is suppose to give us a 15mbs-25mbs connection speed. Here's some more info

I'm on Vista, Service pack 2 or 3 I think,
Modem goes to a router, Linksys Cisco
On cables, wireless is disabled I think.
There's two modems in my home, one's Shaw and other is Telus. Me and my brother are on Shaw, three other people are on the Telus modem.

I know I already made a thread in the Valve Games section, but now it's starting to affect everything, including YouTube. Shaw was fine for over 7 months, and only in the last two weeks has it started to shit out.

FP, please help me.

There's service pack 3?

Anyways, call your ISP I guess.

I'd like to use that as a last resort. Shaw is a fucking pain when it comes to customer service

Well, I'm guessing that having massive lags is a pain in the ass as well, so...

Could there be absolutely anything else causing this?

If you're torrenting at all, lower the max uploading to a small number, say 25 or 50. A lot of other app's upload as well, like Blizzard's downloader, and Waula. Also, be sure your wireless is off, it seems you're in a big city (Seattle) and a lot of people aren't above stealing your internet for their own use. You should be able to access your routers page at something like 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.1.0, etc. If you do need to keep it on, enable encryption.

Wireless is defiantly off, not downloading anything at all.

It's been disabled for a while, nothing changed.

Play a game and run a bandwidth test on the other computer.

Run the test with what and on which computer?
