I have a weird problem with my Internet connection and it only manifests itself when I'm gaming online, as far as I can see. When I play Team Fortress during the day or in the evening, my ping is pretty high, over 200 and it makes the game unplayable. But if I'm on late or early in the morning (like around 1 or 2am), then the ping goes down to a respectable number, ~60-70 or under. I'm the only one using the connection; we don't have a wireless network at our place and my roommate is rarely home.

I've got no idea what's going on or what to do about it. Halp, plz.

Edit: And it's only started happening within the past week or so.

You are correct about TWC. I did reboot my router and that kinda made things better, but not by much. Is this the sort of thing that I could call them about and they would use their magic to fix?
