Nah I live in Australia and always play on the game arena servers my ping is usually 20-40.
And when I test my maps I'm making the fps is the same.

Try 'com_maxfps 85' if that doesn't work (which I doubt it will) buy a new computer.

Some famous scientologist actor once said, "Help me help you! HELP ME HELP YOU!"

We need a little more info bro.  Like...

What OS are you using? It would help so we can tell you what tools to use to figure this out.

Do you have any temperature monitoring utils installed? In windows, I can monitor my 7600GT temp.  Maybe your video card fan stopped.  Is it overheating?  My fan puked a while back and I didn't know it.  My card played fine for the next month but gradually decreased frame rates and then hung my system altogether.

What map were you playing?  Does it seem like it only occurs on certain maps?

More importantly, if you play on a server with a lot of peeps vs. playing on low player servers in the past (when you had no probs), you will suddenly notice an FPS drop in certain map spots - especially long open areas.

You get the picture.  We the doctors, you the patient.  We got the latex on, so cough it up for us.

Also, check your power supply output, it may be failing and not giving enough juice. I know this is been repeated for a variety of problems, but check for viruses/spyware.
