Hello!
It appears that as I play online games, my ping (I don't need an explanation as to what this is [hopefully]) is as high as 600, even on servers that are normally at <80 ping (only tested in CnC4 and TF2). Other than that, videos only stream a "third of a second" per second, which is really slow compared to before.
*CnC4 = Command & Conquer 4
*TF2 = Team Fortress 2
- yes they are not pirated -
Why this is a problem is the fact that my download speeds are quite unaffected, if not, better than normal. Other than that, this has persisted for 10 straight days. I live in the Philippines, and 200 kbps is far from slow in our country, especially since I downloaded from American sources.
This all started two days after my PC was solved of it's Network Adapter problem, which resorted me to buy a PCI Ethernet card. After these two days, my ping started to rise, internet pages and videos started to load slowly, but download speeds are unaffected and remain normal even until today.
Because I fear about PCI Ethernet cards seeing as I lived my whole 16 years of life with on-board network adapters, I haven't really updated my driver nor am I aware if it ever does need updating.
What I've tried is resetting my router and modem. It (usually) starts out okay, though still a little slower than it used to be but not at a level of irritation, but after a few minutes it slowly starts to rise by a hundred, then reaches in the 600+ after a so-soon five minutes.
The old driver of my on-board network adapter is still installed, though the slot itself is unused. I am unsure if it would ever interfere with the ethernet card driver though. (The on board is labeled as Local Area Connection 3 in Network Connections, while the Ethernet card is labeled as Local Area Connection 4)
Sorry for my o-so bad English. As stated above, it's rather obvious that I am no native of the YEW-ESS-OF-EY (or any other English-speaking country).
Thank you for reading
