High latency/ping times

Greetings

I have had DSL for a while and have had no real issues until recently

My problem is that I am receiving high latency/ping times while using VPN and while playing internet games (doing each exclusive of one another of course). I am continually being dropped or if I stay connected the LAG is so bad that it makes using the VPON or playing games impossibly frustrating. All of this started about 5 days ago or so, so I am wondering what the problem could be.

My modem is new; I just got DSL in December. I have tried bypassing my router and still get the same result. I have also used computers running XP sp3, Vista Sp2 and Win 7 64 bit, all with the same result.

Any ideas? Also can inclement weather in Northern VA be causing issues with the verizon's overall network performance? all of that snow cant be good thing for DSL.

I am in SW VA and we have had alot of snow as well.

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.. because VPN is how I work some days and this latency issue is causing me to re think my switch to DSL
