Hey everyone,
I've been experiencing some problems with my ping lately. It keeps changing a lot. I'm using a powerline adapter, which usually works okay for gaming, but it's not ideal. Now, when I play CS:GO on certain servers—where I used to have a stable ping of 30-40—it's now consistently in the 100-200 range. It's not like it's always bad on every server or game, even though they're all from the same host and I haven't had any issues before. I think this isn't due to the servers themselves since I'm facing these problems across multiple games and platforms.

I've checked pinging Google, but the results were only a few spikes (in bold).

Are you sure about this connection? Could there be another person or entity involved?
