Yeah, it could a myriad of things.

If you have a router, OS, etc.

I know that Verizon DSL has that crappy WINpoet software for win 2000/98.

Also, just out of curiosity, do you get bad Pings in-game? Or when you view your games list?

When I had DSL (I now have cable) alot of my games listed were all in red (meaning bad), but when I played

it was fine, 60 - 120 ping.

In steam, you can specify area location in the filter. If you are eastcoast/westcoast US, europe, etc. You may want to

try that, or, make sure it is off and not specified to a location away from where you live. (Like, if you live in NY, you dont

want the filter in europe.)

I've encountered this problem many a time. Look in the Monitor tab on the Steam Menu, there will more than likely be games updating themselves, this is what is causing the lag for you. This is due to the new "Trickle Updating" system where the games download all the files secretly THEN install it. If you do infact see games Updating, then just leave Steam open for a while until they're done. Then all will be good and you will be able to play with Low Pings again.
