I have two Internet providers, (one I just got a couple weeks ago) I wanted to keep my gaming PC separate from the rest of the household so I bought TDS internet so the family could surf the net without interfering with my gaming. Now, I have TDS internet taking over all the machines in the house, how can I keep this new internet out of my PC?

So if you have 2 ISPs, you have 2 modems, correct?
Assuming these modems are attached to two different cables entering your house (1 maybe DSL and the other maybe Cable Broadband), each of these should have a router attached (unless you have all-in-one modem/routers - Gateways).
You should therefore have 2 distinct networks.
Connect your gaming PC to the TDS network and the others to the original network.
