Some unfortunate circumstances happened last night which forced me to reformat my Windows installation. After getting it set up and all I come to find I am experiencing drastic lag spikes(ping 10/download 25/upload 3 to ping 250/download 3/upload~0). I have tried changing the channel on my router to no avail. I am rather ignorant to these types of things and I am hoping a person of this community can help me find a solution. Thank you

**I am connected via Ethernet

**This is what I am talking about, these Tests took place consecutively http://www.speedtest.net/result/4125070552.png

The first thing you need to do is figure out where the lag is occurring. Do a trace route to a server to which you have high latency. If that doesn't show anything immediately, then download a program call winmtr, it will do a lot more than the 3 probes tracert does. Then you can see latency, jitter, and loss for each router between you and a target server.

As stated in my original post I said I am ignorant in regards to networking. I went and installed that program you recommended and tried connecting to various websites, but I still do not understand what I am looking at. The inconsistency and rapid deterioration and conversely rapid ascension of my internet is really what is bugging me. This same computer generally had perfectly stable connection before the reformatting and so one would assume(at least me) that it is my computer and not the connection it self. Thank you for your response though as I clearly do not understand the problem and this program will probably be a very helpful tool now and in the future.

Something like this

C:\Users\***>tracert us.mineplex.com

Tracing route to us.mineplex.com [108.178.7.206]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms pfsense.localdomain [192.168.1.1]
2 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 66.*.*.1
3 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 209.*.*.*
4 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 209.*.*.*
5 12 ms 12 ms 11 ms te-9-4.car4.Chicago1.Level3.net [4.71.102.197]
6 12 ms 12 ms 12 ms 4.15.84.6
7 30 ms 34 ms 22 ms agg1.c13.r05.s101.chi03.singlehop.net [67.212.190.250]
8 13 ms 12 ms 12 ms aswg1.c17.r11.s101.chi03.singlehop.net [99.198.126.146]
9 12 ms 12 ms 12 ms usbg11.mineplex.com [108.178.7.206]

Trace complete.

Another command to try is pathping. Just like tracert, but it takes longer and does more samples. Let it run until it says it's done.
