I'm running into some issues while playing video games. My internet is 1GB down and 50mb up and I'm using a PC connected through ethernet. The issue is that when I'm streaming and gaming, or frankly even offline, I see ping spikes in game that causes massive frame drop. I've had my provider come out three times now and each time, they give me a new modem. Previously they had a modem/router combo and this time they installed it separately. I still can be in game and all of a sudden see my normal ping of 30ms jump all the way up to 350+ for a minute or two at a time. This makes it unplayable and the stream losses frames for that time period. I don't know what to do at this point, but am interested in doing some testing to figure out what could be causing it.
Connection - This is a new home less than a year from being built. I have a port in my office, the living room, and an upstairs office. The router + Modem is in the living room. That is plugged into the wall behind is via Eth and it goes to our bedroom. I have a 1gb Linksys switch that has all the connections. Could this be a line issue, ISP issue, or what? I have seen this same issue for months at this point and I am considering trying another provide but I want to make sure that they are the issue before I go somewhere else. My speeds on speedtest.net range from 300-700 mbs down and 42 up. I shouldn't have issues streaming/gaming but I do.
Let me know your thoughts!
