I had the same problem, games were almost unplayable for me. Ask your cable company for a new modem, and they will probably give you a new IP along with it.

This seemed to fix my problem, and a few other I know :P

Good luck

I'm having the same problem... can't get a ping under 600.
@Home told me it was a due to a worm virus on the network that they can't get a handle on. It has been going on for 2 months now.
