All of a sudden I'm having this problem.... I seem to have this problem for a few weeks, then it goes away, then it comes back again. I've rebooted my router and modem just to ensure it isn't that. I don't lag elsewhere, just at Shmack. My ping hovers around 80-90 and then spikes to 180 every once in awhile. The gameplay ends up being stuttery. Any ideas? I'm also on Time Warner Cable in the Midwest.
