I've tried using 3 diff routers and all with same result, I've updated the mobo drivers but I still get pings in and around 50-70 from around 4/5pm till around 11/12am and then they go back fine to around 30, please this is really effecting my gameplay

I'm in the sligo region im just wondering if by the screenie anyone of you could tell me whats going wrong.

What your experiencing is contention. What package are you on?

Welcome to Eircons Ireland. Their old network is creaking under the pressure of broadband demand and bad pings and serious contention is the result. You haven't many options other than change provider to someone with a better contention ratio or grin and bear it.

50-70? what are you complaining about.
Try 300-500 in the evenings and 30-40 during the day for a solid 6 months now.
Totally unplayable for 6 months in the evenings.
Im on eircoms lowest contention package.
Count your lucky stars.
