Started 2-3 weeks ago; I live in an apartment and have Time Warner Cable. A tech has already been here after 3 chat rep conversations and found nothing wrong.

My power levels in my modem/router are fine, and Speedtests are consistently fine:



I'm about to murder someone.




This is from my modem/router (Motorola SBG6580):

4 Locked ATDMA 12 2560 Ksym/sec 37000000 Hz 36.4 dBmV




Downstream power levels should be within +7 to -7 dBmV. Mine are all around 1.1 to 3.0... so FINE.


Upstream should be between 50 - 33 dBmV. Mine is fine.

26 ping


You don't know what your ping is to the servers you are playing on. Probably bad ping and/or packet loss

I pinged google 500 times and 498 packets were received.

The min. ping was 26 I believe but there was an instance that showed the max ping as 784. That was odd.

You could be playing servers with high ping like ones in Europe or something like that. Your ping doesn't matter all that much compared to where the server is.

Team Fortress 2
Rocket League
CS:GO
Chivalry Medieval Warfare
Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2

Across all servers it happens. I will be fine (low ping and no issues) until I rubber band for a second then it stops until it happens again. Probably every 45 seconds. I never get disconnected from these games or even get a disconnect warning. In Team Fortress 2 my ping will shoot up from 30 to 65 and it always coincides with my character on screen rubber banding for a second- then the ping returns to normal as does my character. Literally a second or less but enough to throw you off. Rinse and repeat.

My car on Rocket League will jerk around and I'll see the ball go in slow motion, as if I am missing events on screen. But Rocket League doesn't show this in ping like Team Fortress 2 does.

This is a wired connection, and it is secure. I checked the DHCP clients and it only listed my computer. I never have anything else running at the same time, and even never use my own WiFi network on my phone.

I am in an apartment, but have been here 8 months and all was good until 2-3 weeks ago.

The only other devices I have are a Xbox 360 (used for ESPN streaming w/ my dad's ATT uverse account) and a PS3 (for Netflix, HBO GO, etc) - which I never have running when I'm playing PC games (obviously).

Unless you are playing through Google, you wasted your time with those =/

Pings and tracerts are excellent tools, but they are best used when communicating with the server(s) you are having troubles with. Try running a tracert to the Steam servers and see what you come up with.

I'm going to ping a TF2 server since you can get the IP from all the servers you play on. Since I rubber band in all of them I'll just get in one and get the IP and ping it.

I would first try to isolate the source of the problem: Internet Provider, cable modem, router, PC, etc. It seems like you've done a decent amount of work to rule out your ISP and their equipment.

Could it be something on the PC itself? Is there anything running on the PC while you are gaming that might be eating up bandwidth? Carbonite or similar backup software? Do you have any other device on your network you could use to play a couple of online games and check their performance, such as your Xbox 360 or your PS3?

Furthermore, can you take your PC to a friend's house with a decent Internet connection, plug directly into their router / modem, and try a few online games?

Are you using the Ethernet port on your motherboard?

It's the Ethernet port on the back of my computer, so I'd say that's a yes.

Also, this modem/router is my own device. I bought it on amazon 8 months ago when I moved to my apartment.

Got the IP from the server I'm playing on and ran ping on cmd. Those high spikes in ping are coinciding with my rubber banding? It has to be... and what about the request time outs?

Ping statistics for 208.78.166.168:
Packets: Sent = 935, Received = 932, Lost = 3 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 26ms, Maximum = 798ms, Average = 34ms
Control-C

The end of the test (from the past 2 posts) shows 0% packet loss. WHAT IS GOING ON!!?!?!!

I imagine if I ping any game I'm having an issue with (ALL ONLINE games), then I would see something similar.

I had this problem last year. I had a bad Ethernet port, upgrading its drivers helped tremendously but it still happened quite frequently.

Thanks. I updated that and am pinging the same server. Will post results.. then cross my fingers and hope this simple solution will suffice.
