I had a problem like that with my ADSL. I solved it (at least mostly) by reducing the rate at which I try to receive data from the servers. For example, with UT, I had to decrease my netspeed to 3000. The default is 20,000

I can't really help you with Q3 or CS cuz I don't play them, but with UT, this may help. Go here http://www.planetunreal.com/game/tweaks.shtml and check out the part under "Netplay tweaks". This helped me out some.


*BTW - to get to the Advanced Options in UT, it's "preferences" in the Console.

Get rid of web accelerator as well. That should just be a caching tool that might work well for regular dialup but for dsl and cable seems pointless. Check your net settings as well. Not sure on UT you might want to check the above link. On Quake3 though, mostly make sure you are on cable/dsl option in the options menu. Also make sure it is your pl and not your fps, turn off some of the goodies like high quality sky and ejecting shells and whatnot.
