It will go from 90-400 and everything in between the whole time I am playing. I have done everything I know to do to correct this (stopped startup programs that aren't needed, making sure Netflix isn't running on my Wii, laptop & Ipad- some of you know the cause of this problem for me the last time was running Netflix on all 3 devices at the same time haha I'm blaming that one on my hair color. Anyways... I decided to run Malwarebytes just to see if maybe there was something I was unaware in the background. I don't know if that has anything to do with my ping or not but figured I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. I don't know if it will help anything but I think its not a good idea to have 95 objects detected just by performing the quick scan. I'll run a full scan now just in case. Just thought you tech guys would appreciate the little story AND FYI..........Nothing came from porn downloads so you can stop fantasizing right now. Damage_inc- 1

It's probably a result of the storms that made their way across the US yesterday. When power goes out in certain areas, routers go down and circuts have to be re-routed slowing down broadband for many people. Just wait it out, there should be a big improvement today and tomorrow.
