Okay this is the run down so far. About 1 month ago I got ADSL installed everything running beautifully..then a week later no ADSL signal. Complained to telkom, they said it wasn't them but my modem. Got a friend with another ADSL modem to test my line.. he got signal.

Took my brand new modem back to be repaired and only yesterday did they give me a new one. So I set it all up like I had before but now I have a weird problem. When playing fps games I can play fine but browsing and playing warcraft 3 online is terrible. Pages load half way and w3 gets into the game then just "lags out" every single time. Also I have tried 3 different ISP accounts (all telkom though) so I don't think it is the ISP, although I wish it could be. Anyone got any idea's?

A possibility. I will first get telkom to test the line because I get some ping requests time out every 13 or so. When I get home I will try do a firmware update. Don't know specifics at the moment but it is an SMC modem, small silver square thingy heh
