And I don't know what it causes.. I used to have like 50 ping, 3 fluct, at highest 3 loss and no lag, but the last evenings my connections on everything started to lag a lot. It's reaching 200 ping, 50 fluct, 10 loss and 9 lag, on FL, I'm getting like a 5 minute chat lag. I moved my router outside the zone of a load of other electrical things and I resetted the thing multiple times.
But it's not only my PC doing this, my Xbox is getting a lot of crappy connection aswell. At first I thought it was the 24/7 server lagging a bit, but I asked around if people had lag too, they didn't, altough, another Dutch person has lag like me.
Solutions? Would kicking the crap out of my router help?
From what your saying its proboblly your router.
Or by any chance did you go over your bandwidth limit too many times? Some ISPs cut your speed to slower speeds if you do. Certain ones not all.

I seem to be getting video lag so it seems. It'll act real choppy for a bit and then smooth out. I'll try re-booting the router and see if maybe that fixes things. Thanks for the advice.

I don't know how I would, perhaps having 4 things connected to my router at once, connected to the internet, causes this? Sorry, I don't have much knowledge on this.
I always close up a lot of stuff when playing Freelancer. Torrents, Skype, IE, everything I'm not using, but the lag is still here.
Had this router for quite a long time, 3 years or so, perhaps getting a new one will work.
On a side not, my NAT type is Moderate, and I want it on open, but I don't know how. I know this will increase connectivity atleast for a bit, seeing as with it not being on open, my 360 has a hard time connecting to matchmaking games.

You more or less need NAT when trying to share 1 IP over multiple LANs.
You can try looking into turning off your router's security and seeing if ti'll stop filtering the packets.
A source of the problem could be your router and it honestly depends on how many errors you're getting.. If you're getting <100 TX CRC Errors in 10 minutes then you're good. If you're getting more I'd look into the router.
Besides that I'd look into your line's Relative Capacity Occupation Percentage, and if that checks out then I'd perform a Tracert over to the server side to see if any providers on the hops to the server are lagging. You will usually see Cogentco servers lagging a bit as their lines are generally bad and can spike your pings up a good 100ms easily. If that checks out and everything is cool on your end, it's probably the server.
