Ping be to high the past few nights, when from 9 hops to having atleast 17 hops, checked it early today and it was 17 hops, the above was five mins. ago and i had 15 hops. Used to only have a 40 to 50 ms and now the last few days my lowest has been 98ms(using net_graph 3)
Kinda odd if you ask me.Do not think there much that can be done but anyone has any suggestions?
The extra hops and higher ping times are due to factors beyond your ISP's network. There is not much you or your ISP can do. Best course is to look for a new game server nearer to you and with better ping time.
