All of the sudden, past few days everything is so slow. I can't even play quake, I get 999 ping. And cs is jumpy all over, this is even at like 12am at night too. Is this an ATT problem? I will give them a call soon. :|

I'm with attbi in Los Angeles. Everything has been fine here, but I don't play games online. ping times are fine everywhere. to anandtech.com, it's 80ms.

(in the case that there's no outtage)

ping your gateway -and not just the default four packets.
"ping <gateway IP> -t"

Let it go for about a minute or two to get several hundred packets out.
If you're getting pings higher than 200, you'll get a truck roll.
If you're getting more than 2% packet loss, you'll get a truck roll (I believe).

If you've got a perfect connection to the gateway, AT&T won't do jack about anything else outside of their network.

reinstall NIC drivers?
reinstall TCP/IP?
power cycle modem (for a full three minutes)?

Good luck
