I'm experiencing spikes in latency that go from 30 to 150-200 rather consistently. I've checked with my brother who is on a wired connection and he is not experiencing this issue. My step father who is not on a wired connection is also not experiencing this issue. We live in a very small house and my room is maybe 15 feet away from my brother's.
It is very frustrating to play video games while this is occurring (all of the time). We've called out our ISP for the problem recently and have seen some improvements, so I do not believe that our ISP is the issue. I have a pretty beat up Ethernet cable, could that be the issue? Sorry for my lack of competence, I am not knowledgeable at all whatsoever in this field. I do not believe it is a problem with the modem or router either, due to the fact that it is ONLY effecting me. I'm at a bit of a loss. Any input is appreciated.
Here are some screenshots of the nuisance that I am experiencing:
Pinging Google: http://gyazo.com/8ed697e4da7def2abedcaba666853663 (these happen on a VERY consistent basis, I had this open for 10 seconds to grab this screenshot.)

Once again, I am sorry for my extreme lack of knowledge, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to be able to play video games.
