These spikes have been much worse and have only been in the last week or so. Usually problems like this clear themselves up, but I'm going to have to bitch at Shaw fairly soon at this rate. I haven't done much online gaming lately so it hasn't been a big priority, and regular web browsing is still fine, if a bit slower. But it destroys streaming video performance, too.
