2Mb gamming lag

i read a few posts around and it seems a few ppl are having similar problems.. but no one seems to have found a solution.

i used to have a 1Mb connection in which Age of Empires ran smoothly .. a bit of lag now and again but overall very good.

After upgrading to a 2 Mb and upgrading my setup box as well i being having lag problems..

P4 2.4 Ghz
Windows XP
GeForce 6600
1Gb ram

the first thing i notice was that at my g/f house i don't have any lag (she has a 1 Mb connection) so to make sure it wasn't my pc i brough her pc around and played on my line .... lag continuos. tried direct connetion to the setup box and though a router on both pc's ... both lags.

tried different cables

tried taking my pc to her house and worked fine

tried taking my pc to the next door neighbour which has a 2Mb connection same as mine ... it lags. (exactly as mine btw).

I even convinced them to change the setupbox btw and still lags.

i can only assume this is a problem with the ISP (NTL)!!!

or can someone suggests something?? (apart fro going back to a 1Mb lol)

many thanks
