I have this issue since September and searched and tried every possible fix i found but nothing made change. I have recorded the issue in Overwatch:

If someone have an idea what can possibly cause this?
I have a lenovo y510i laptop, which had no such problems in the past, and it seems to be not hardware related either, because all of my devices are up to date, i cleaned my files with Malware and ccleaner, and tried changing my netcard settings too.

This generally means there is a problem with your internet connection. You can run tracert to get ips in the path nd then ping ip past your router in the trace but in most cases unless there is other equipment you own past the router causing it you will need to contact your ISP to fix it.

Proving to them that pings to your router are no issue but pings to one of their routers is should convince them to look at things....if you get someone who has any skills at all when you call.

I'm connected via ethernet and with other network it works fine. I'm using my my fathers company's net because we live next to it. It worked well but now after we went on a long vacation on summer it started to be like that, the guy who manages the company network said that the router is okey. Can it be that my laptop isnt supporting a certain thing that was in an update for the router?
 
Open a cmd window in the background and run a constant ping to your router. If there are no problems then your machine and router are likely ok.

In general your PC has no idea what is connect at the other end of the cable so it would be unlikely it is a router bug. Then again the router may have a issue with the type of traffic or maybe there is something strange with the internet connection.

You should be able to find the delay or packet loss but if it is in the ISP network it may be hard to get fixed

I pinged our router but it was between 1-4 ms all the time, then i pinged google and it randomly spiked up to 200-400.
