I was sick for a few days and couldn't do anything worth doing. My skills and intellect were shit (this happened during the TLS qualifiers). When I finally got better, I looked forward to playing Brood War again. But I can't, because every game lags... every single game.

Has this happened to any one else, and if so, did you fix it?
If I can't fix this, I won't be able to play StarCraft.

I've had this problem for a few days, including the last TLS qualifiers that I wanted to play & stream myself getting knocked out in the very first round...

I made sure no one in the house was torrenting or downloading anything yet the games would lag, even when I turned down the stream.

But after a day or two everything went back to normal, so I think it was an ISP issue.

It's rare that BW lags because it's a game that takes extremely little bandwidth. Happens to me sometimes because I'm living in China and Singapore and internet is awful there.

You could try to download an utility to monitor your computer's and router internet traffic. Could be something really silly like someone hacked your wifi and is downloading porn all day.

I checked my upload and download activity. When nothing was on, I was only uploading and downloading a few bytes, and when I sent an email, my upload rate spiked for a few seconds. So everything seemed to be in order there - no spyware that's using my bandwidth.

I also used speedtest.net and pingtest.net to see if there was a problem. I had the same upload and download speeds as I've always had, and my ping was good.

However, I did tell my father about it (I haven't moved out yet) and he said he's recently started noticing serious problems as well, despite everything checking out in my tests.
