I'm having a bit of a problem with my connection and I hope someone can give me some advice. Let me start with the basic info.
Cable internet with a Motorola Surfboard and a Linksys BEFSR41 router. I'm a World of Warcraft player and use Ventrilo for raids.
Things were golden for me until a few days ago when I moved my computer into another room and went from using a 25ft cat-5 cable to a 50ft cat-5e.
The lag I'm experiencing in the game is minimal (1-2 seconds tops, and only at high traffic times), and the inbound ventrilo traffic is normal, but my outbound ventrilo is horrible. It sometimes takes my outbound communications as long as 5 minutes to be received by the other people on vent with me.
Any advice that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
