Need help tweaking, ISP = Windstream (Lower speed than im paying for)

[Hirosaki]

Ok, heres the deal, im with windstream and i pay for there 3.0Mbs package and these are my speeds....i also have pings in the 300's when playing online games....which just started happening when i upgraded from 1.5Mbs to 3.0Mbs

These are my current speeds:

This is my analyzer results:

What should i do? If theres anything else needed let me know ill check back very often....the sooner this is fixed the better

Advanced Settings tab:
Max Connections per Server - 10
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20
LocalPriority - 1
Host Priority - 1
DNSPriority - 1
NetbtPriority - 1
Lan Browsing speedup - optimized
QoS: NonBestEffortLimit - 0
ToS: DisableUserTOSSetting - 0
ToS: DefaultTOSValue - 80
MaxNegativeCacheTtl - 0
NetFailureCacheTime - 0
NegativeSOACache Time - 0
LAN Request Buffer Size - 32768
Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect

i changed the settings and rebooted but my speed still isnt quite where its suppose to be its now at this

http://www.speedtest.net/result/203443207.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

and it seems like my ping is now very variable, it jumps around more...may only be temporary though....seems to be stablizing a bit more now

Do a tracert to www.yahoo.com and post.

[Hirosaki]

Cant do traceret's normally because isp blocks them but i can do them through my router for some reason.

High and irregular ping times at the modem in hop 2. Isolate your modem a few feet away from all other electrical devices, including the router.

Are you using a wireless connection?

[Hirosaki]

I isolated my modem and no im not using wireless, i also tried connecting directly to the modem and turning the router off completly but still no change, im going to call windstream and have them look at my phone lines, ive had a bit of trouble with them before and when they fixed everything worked fine so ill try that monday and see how that works, if things are still bad then ill contact you back here

[Hirosaki]

Ok it seems as though they wont be out in my area for a few days....any suggestions on things i could try in the mean time....still not sure if its the lines

How is your speed? Try testing at a few nearby test servers to get an average.

[Hirosaki]

speed still averages about 1200kbps to 1300kbps

[trogers]

speed still averages about 1200kbps to 1300kbps

Clean and scan your comp with CCleaner, SpyBot and Ad-Aware 2007. Then reboot comp and test speed again.
