Internet lag when i play games with my brother?

Question

This happened like couple months ago it wasn't always like this. My computer is hardwired into the modem(i have dsl) which is wired into a wireless router. My brother is using a laptop which has wireless. When we play games i get pings like 100-200 while he stays at n average of 30. Can any1 explain a way to fix this. I always thought that since i was hardwired into the modem that my brother should be getting this problem instead of me.

Turn off all other programs.  If you have like, Limewire or something running while you play games, then Limewire is taking up some of your Bandwidth.
