    Severe Latency Issues

    Every couple weeks my latency goes from <100 to 1K+ for a day or two, making the game unplayable. It appears as if the rest of my internet is working fine, I just hopped on counter strike and my ping was low, websites and videos load quickly, etc. Every time I post about this on the WoW forums I just get a blue post telling me to try resetting my router. Well, I've reset my router countless times in frustration and I'm still sitting at 2079 ms. Could this possibly be an issue on my end, or is it more likely that Blizzard is retarded? Do I need to buy a new router and/or modem? Somebody mentioned that it could be my NIC, I'm not too sure what that is, do I need to buy one for every computer on my network or just the computer I'm using? I'm really desperate at this point as I'm pushing for Gladiator and every time my internet craps out we lose 20 points (Going 8 -2 every week and only being up a couple points, just to lose all my hard work to a disconnect is no fun). A separate, but related issue is seemingly random disconnects on my end, what can I upgrade to prevent that from happening?

    Have you tried streaming a video, or a big download while playing wow to see if the downloads/video stream is interrupted/slowed/stops by chance to see if its just wow or your internet?

    If its not "just wow" you'll probably need to check with your isp... if its just wow you could try some of this stuff

    (I only use the tcpackfreq thing myself, have about 40-60ms solo-10man and 100-140ms 25-40mans)
