Speed problem when playing games online.

I have an NTL cable modem that works ok when browsing and using messengers etc. But when i try to play an online game (Guild Wars, Battlefied 2 or C&C generals) the speed seems to drop and the lag is terrible. I recently tried to download an update for Guild Wars and got a download rate of 5-20kb/s, i download torrents faster than that :S I supposedly have an 8mb connection. Can some please narrow down if this problem is with my pc, connection, area(nn3) or the games. :S thanks

PS. when I play games the U/S and D/S lights on my modem flash. not sure if that helps lol
