Question: I noticed when gaming online via my PlayStation 2 a while back, I always, and ALWAYS had this strange form of lag. It wasn't actual lag that anybody seen, it was something different. For example, when I was playing SOCOM (a videogame), and was running forward, on my screen it was perfect, but my friends see me about 15-20 feet back.

So whenever I was running to get behind a wall, my friends still seen me running to that wall, while on my screen, I was a good 2-3 seconds already behind it. And this wasn't like a thing that happened once every so often, but it was consistant for 2 years already.

So what does this have to do with? My connection speed, which is running on a Verizon DSL ISP, I usually get 500 KBPS approximately (even though my max is 712). Or is it my old LinkSys router? It is a LinkSys BEFSR41 model. That is a wired router, and I usually have 2 other computers hooked up to this router aside from my PlayStation 2, so 3 in total while running these games). Here's the router: Linksys.com - Products/Wired/Basic Networking/Routers, Modems & Gateways/BEFSR41

What should I be blaming it on?

The funny part is, I can see my teammates shooting at blank space, instead of directly me, they are basically shooting at the 2-3 second delay that they see on their screen. And I can see that, which is why I can tell there's some sort of lag. Or when I get behind cover, I am not longer visible to my enemy, but I am still getting wounded from gunshots mysteriously.

Try connecting your DSL connection directly to your pc and add the static IP they gave in your network card. Doing this is taking the router out of the loop and see if you still have the same problem. If you still have the same problem then you know there is something wrong with your DSL connection. If not then you know it is your router that is causing the problem. You have to isolate which is giving you the problem.
