HL servers

Everysingle DOD server that I join has 100+ pings. My ping is about 140 and then jumps to over 250 sometimes. This is the only time I have ever seen this. Every server, every person. One of my favorite servers (which I normally get 25 ping) had 5 people in it and each of us had about 110 ping.

Is there some HUGE internet slowdown or something?

it could be that your isp/broadband provider is doing some upgrading/fixing to lines around your area, running different background applications (that might be updating), or if you are on a network some computers are taking up more bandwidth than usual... i would call your provider first, cuz that would be the easiest way to solve the problem

How would it be that every single person in a server all hve 100+ pings. We don't all have the same provider.

My friend who has cable with comcast is experiencing the exact same thing.

Well it must be the game then. Or the server software that is doing it. I'm sure you shouldn't have to wait very long before it's fixed.

(Well I would hope you didn't have to wait very long).

Okay, it has been 3 days since then.

I have narrowed the high pings down to ONLY hl. If I play BattlefIeld 1942 I get anywhere from 25-100 ping. 100 ping isn't too high in BF because it requires a lot of bandwidth.

150 in HL is plain ridiculous. I have no clue what could be causing this. it has to be a program error of some sort.

A full reinstallation of HL is the only answer I can possibly think of.
