Hello,
I've had this issue for a long long time now, I'm almost certain its my ISP at fault but after getting 0 help in 2 months from the virgin media forums and phone calls, I'm here hoping you can help me either fix it or prove it is their fault.
I'm connected from my computer directly to my router via ethernet cable. Most of the time if I run a ping test I get results 40ms-60ms and I can play games fine like this. However, sometimes it will randomly spike and I'll be looking at results 100ms+ easily. I first noticed this playing Overwatch where my ping would go from 40ms-50ms up to 150ms+ and then I started to do the ping tests.
Results from pingtest (various)
I've really tried everything I can think of
Any help is appreciated, I'm at the point now where I've just had to accept I can't fix it, they're just ignoring it and I can't prove anything so I can't cancel... which isn't ideal.
Edit : As an update, here is a trace router to 8.8.8.8 (Hope this is helpful). I have also now removed my netgear router and I'm straight into my superhub and it is in modem mode.
