Hello everyone,
As title reads I am getting latency spikes, everytime I play Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO). I usually start at a stable ping but after a minute or two on any server, be it a valve hosted matchmaking server or a community server, it starts to fluctuate. It keeps changing, going from 40 to 150 to 70 to 130... Never staying at a certain value any longer than 2 seconds.
I tested this on battlefield 4 as well and the same thing happened there. I never had this problem before up until yesterday.
I opened up a command prompt on my laptop (wireless) and on my pc (cable) and started to ping to google, same thing happened on BOTH the devices.
I restarted my pc and tried the same thing again, nothing happened and my ping remained very low. However, as soon as I started CS:GO and hopped into any server the same thing started happening again and again on both devices.
There's an average of 5-6 low pings between each spike when I run
"ping www.google.com[1] -t" and a spike being 100-200+ms
And if I keep it running for a while the spikes disappear, until I start up any game again and connect to a server.
I connected my laptop directly to my router (I use powerline adapters) and tried it again with the ping commands and if my pc started lagging so did my laptop. So it's not a faulty powerline adapter nor any hardware related issue because it's a network wide problem affecting all devices connected to the same network.
I'm clueless as to what might be the cause of this and I'm on the verge of actually calling to the helpdesk of my ISP (the helpdesk is horrible at my ISP, every call is automated and it's not easy getting a technical expert on the line).
Any tips or help would be appreciated and if you need anything from my end let me know, thanks in advance.
