TF2 Makes my ping shoot up?

Sup.
Um, I havn’t really known where to start with troubleshooting this, but it seems that if I start TF2, (or HoN, I think) my ping shoots up immediately. I mean, it’s literally so bad that if I’m in mumble, I can be chatting to people, start up TF2 to play a match, and people cannot understand what I’m saying, and all my favorite servers show about 500 ping.
Whats your upload speed?
Short answer – Shit

Oh yeah, and I should add that my TF2 hasn’t allways been like this, it’s just started in the past couple of days

it’s more likely to be the mumble client, probably too high quality settings. TF2 only uses about 10kb/s iirc and you cant “fix” that, try lowering the sound settings instead.

If you’re with BT like your speed test suggests, I’ve been on the phone with them recently due to getting 10 – 50% packet loss on one of their core backbone servers and then getting 500-1000 ping at a hop through RapidSwitch. I was pinging over 1000 to the UK and 120 to West Coast American servers like normal which was crazy. I only saw this through TF2/Steam as well rather than just through browsing. Pingplotter is a great program to analyse things and I’d recommend giving BT a call if there are issues.
w7?
* Open regedit
* Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionMultimediaSystemProfile
* There will be an entry for network performance throttling, default value is 10; set it to FFFFFFFF hex (willl look like 0xFFFFFFFF to the right of the entry)
* Reboot
Not sure if this is the case, but if you have the server browser open, it’ll keep refreshing it until the end of time, causing massive in-game and mumble lag. Press the Stop Refresh button to fix that.
Ok, I’ve managed to narrow it down even further, as little as tabbing into TF2 makes my mumble lag, I lowered the audio compression and that worked for a bit, but it’s worse again today.
Edit – my favorite servers look like this. http://i27.tinypic.com/30sf29f.jpg
