    I don't know if it's just my internet or if it is because Diablo III has been really unstable, but I get random 1-2k pings and it's not because of too many things happening on my screen, it happens randomly even at the quietest (sp?) spots. On the otherhand, I don't get this when I plug in my ethernet cable. I already whitelisted the game, and I don't know if it makes a difference but I made the wireless adapter settings to max performance as well, but nothing seems to fix it when I am playing via wireless internet. Am I suppose to do something else or is it just because maybe my router is faulty? Speedtest shows it to only having 15ping but like I said, the ping just skyrockets randomly then goes back to normal..

    I thought about maybe automatic updates are downloading but that is not the case..maybe when the servers are fixed i can really see what is going on..
