Hello,
My problem is that i get some strange lags ( here is a sshot: http://home.pi.be/~marros/lagometer.jpg ) during games (every 5/10 seconds, i think it's "random"). I noticed that it happens ONLY when i keep a key down (so it may be upload problem), it's not a virus cos i scanned with about 8 of the greatest anti virs and i got nothing left for sure. I went in holidays beginning of july, and it began when i came back 3 weeks after, it may be my isp... Pls help a poor fragger

Games that use the Q3 engine (and the lagometer as well) the top bar refers to the server that you're connected to.
 
So it would seem that it's the server lagging, not your PC/ISP/connection.
 
The green line on the bottom is your connection, which looks great, probably about a 20-30 ping

OP
This is a packet loss problem, and it's on every servers, and i'm the only one who gets that, it's like i have a 0,5sec hole in my connection every 10 secs... I played 2 years of q3 and i never had this problem before.
