When I'm playing multiplayer games my ping spikes from 40 to anywhere between 300 - 800, then back down again, this happens over and over again and I don't know what to do. I have a wired connection. The things I have tried to fix it is, use a different router and change the Ethernet cables going into my computer and the cables going into the switch. I really need fix this problem as I have been Invited to join tournaments but simply can't due to this problem.

In your response could you please explain in blanket terms, I really know nothing about this stuff. Thanks in advance
 
Solution
Things dont usually fix themselves. Some variable was either added or subtracted from the equation. Try taking everything off your networks both WIFI & Wired connections and wire your laptop directly to the modem. ping 8.8.8.8 & cnn.com continually and see if you get spikes. If you do call your ISP.
