High Ping Rate on New Broadband package

Just upgraded my broadband to a 10mb ntl package. I mainly use the PC for the boards and gaming (CS:S mainly).

However, when gaming my ping rate (latency) has shot up from 20-40 into the 100's. I keep getting kicked which I didn't before on the lower level of broadband. I can see no real improvement over the 2mb package, and if anything its worse with longer download times. Can anyone explain (simply) what is wrong and how the Mole can correct it? Any advice appreciated!

Have already defragged, removed unused programs, etc without any noticeable change.

PS My PC is Athlon 64 dual core, 3800 processor, 1Gb ram, 300Gb memory (with 250 available) , good Nvidia card, etc. No other programs running.
