Rubberbanding/Stuttering

Can anyone suggest some things to check afor this problem?

Lately I've been suffering the dreaded rubberbanding or stuttering of the game. My toon's walking along when suddenly he pops back a couple of paces. If I'm still holding down W he can sometimes seem to take one point five steps back for every step forward. It also drops or lags tray-button clicks so it seems as if the AI is a touch slow on acknowledging everything that's going on.

It doesn't happen all the time or at an even rate. It normally doesn't seem to happen when I first log in, but comes later, say after an hour or more. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen while I was playing a cd on the puter, but it did today, if that might be related.

I said something about it on a team and a player suggested first /sync (which I had been doing and wasn't helping) and then /unloadgfx. That did the trick for a bit but then it came back. Today it would help for maybe all of a few seconds and then the stuttering came right back.

Nothing with my system's been changed or upgraded recently, except for i16 maybe, but this only started say five or six days ago and up until now my system's been handling the settings fine.

I'm wondering if maybe my graphics card is wearing out, getting slower, or if maybe there's a prob with my cable modem or... maybe it's a Nemesis plot, I really have no ideas and I'm not very techy.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I've had this issue for a while, a whole lot worse when my boyfriend and I would be on our comps playing at the same. /sync, /stuck, /unloadgfx-none of that worked or would only do so for maybe 2 minutes. I knew it wasn't our computers as they are fairly new and everything is up to date. I finally called my cable company that provides our internet service and the representative had us run some tests including checking PING status. Then he asked about our router which was a G router. He said that everything on his end worked fine but if it happens again (rubberbanding, intermittent signals)....it could be the router. The best solution ever- bought an N router and has had no problems then Maybe check with your cable company, make sure your video card is update....or like in our case, could be your router or in yours, the modem
