Source Games - Big ping

Hi, so I have a problem in Source games (TF2,CSS, etc.) with the ping. I usually had 50- ping, but these days, I have 100-300 ping, sometimes even 400... can someone help me to fix this stupid big ping? It's impossible to play with such big latency..

Extra info: I don't download stuff while I play, I even have messenger,torrents,daemon, etc off. In task manager it says that I have not even 5% CPU usage, so I don't know what's the problem..

Any smarties know? Thanks =P

High ping usually means you arent close to the server of the server your playing on i think

RE: Source Games - Big ping

Are you using windows 7? Also are you having lower than normal FPS?

Also, do a speedtest and see if you're getting anywhere close to what your ISP says (it won't be the same, but you should at least be somewhere close to it.)

RE: Source Games - Big ping

Chances are somewhere between you and the server something failed, was being replaced, or plain old maintenance.

Please -REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.

High ping is mostly due to some basic things.
Either you're far away from the server, you're downloading something or uploading something in the background.
