Internet Lag Spikes with Comcast.?

Well Matt do you have a Modem and router or just Modem/router one unit.If you have Modem disconnet the router and try hooking the laptop to the modem.Now try a couple of testing sites and see what you come up with.It's also important to make sure you use different servers.If the ping is better then it's your router.If you have a combo unit and comcast has tested you lines coming into the house and report there is no signal lose then I would say replace you Modem/router.You can also try changing you dns servers.Use Open dns to connect to the internet but to be honest in less there is something wrong with the server you are connecting to it won't make that big of a difference.I use only Open dns servers because they are faster than what my ISP uses but I'm talking about 15% at most.
