Here's the story:

About 2 months ago I started having issues with TF2. Now I had never noticed any other issues.

On Sunday evening whilst playing Gary's Mod I noticed my ping on ventrilo was around 1000ms+. I alt tabbed and it looked like this:

Request timed out.
Anyway - I quit the game and all was fine. I loaded up wow - no issues.

I've upgraded the firmware on my router to no avail. I connected directly to the internet which seemed to fix it. I then reset my firmware to manufacturer defaults. It seemed fine, but since then it has come back. I've also pinged the router from another PC whilst my PC is getting high latency and it's the same. I'm guessing that this rules out the wire as a problem.

Also I can max out my 20mb/s connection and have no issues. Anyway - not sure what to do next. I've used Wireshark and have some results but I'm not sure if I should post that as it has my IP - although I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard for people to get it.

My router's a draytek 2910G. I first noticed an issue with TF2 about 2 months ago, but I hadn't noticed the issue with local ping at the time (everything else seemed to play fine so I just left it).
