Well, there isn't too much I can think of other then a new ISP.

In most game I say at least 3Mbps upload and 1Mbps download are less likely to cause trouble.

Can you run a speedtest at speedtest.net real fast?

 

[murlocbbq]

Yes i can run it but not very fast takes 40-50 seconds my upload speed is 0.41 MB and Download is 1.19 MBPS

Sorry to say that might noy be fst enough to game on for many gmes.

You don't need anything near my speeds. 30Mbps down and 1Mbps up

Or;

10 and 3 would be optimal.

Plus, if they didn't like how much bandwidth you used gaming, they can cripple your connection to certain cites.

No problem, and I know that probably wasn't what you wanted to hear, but, when I help I'm rather blunt xD

So either upgrade from the current ISP, or a new ISP as fun as that is, I've changed ISP three times recently.
