My ping!

I assume you're on a wireless network. Someone is probably uploading/downloading a huge file. That'll do it.

If not, it could just be random. Some time in May, my ping used to spike to 500+ every minute from a solid 45 for no reason. I could be the only one using the internet and I'd still spike every minute. There was no explainable reason why this went away, either; it just did.

my pings been goin up since i started playing CF like on alpha nad rookie my ping started at 180 now its gone to 280 i've only played for half a year I CANT COPE with LAGG
