Alright, I've got Comcast High-Speed internet. It used to be extremely fast, and I was very happy with how it was working. Then, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it become very, very slow, disconnected frequently, and was all around a hassle.
On top of not being able to surf the net without slamming my head off my desk, I'm having even more trouble when I try to play the MMORPG, World of Warcraft. My latency is almost always 1000-3000., I have awful lag constantly, and every 10 minutes or so, I disconnect.
This has caused me some distress, as I can barely level now, and PvP is completely out of the question. So now, I'm paying $15/month for this game, and I'm not getting the full experience.
If anybody could help, and guess at whats going on, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
(Also, my TV and computer share the same line, if that has anything to do with it.)

If you need any further details, just tell me. And don't ask for any passwords or anything, I'm not THAT stupid. :P

I find that the small , black motorolla modem they give you sucks. Try exchanging it for a new one at your local comcast office.
You also may have spyware. Download ad adware se from download.com and do a scan. , if that dosen't work , try getting the new modem...I've been through 3 so far , every time it fixes the problem.

The residential Comcast accounts generally come with 3Mb of download bandwidth and 385kb of upload bandwidth. Verify that you don't have any wifi leechers stealing your bandwidth and no one is using peer to peer programs like limewire, bit torrent, etc.

Your modem is screwed up, or something is screwed up outside. Call a technician. If the problem isn't your fault and you're under contract, you will get it repaired for free.
