so i have noticed that recently my ping has gone to shit

my download speed and upload speeds are steady like they should be (~about 800kb/s download speed is about right for my dsl connection) but whenever i ping things, i get ridiculous values 

like ill ping google.com with 150 to 200 ms latency.. wtf it should be like 20 or 30 ms latency .. 



so basically im thinking my packages are being sent through somewhere they are not.. could this be a possibility?
