It occurs regularly each day whenever I launch an internet-dependent app (Teamspeak or Steam) or play a game. My ping spikes unexpectedly with no clear cause. It’s only normal when idle, but during games it jumps high while speed tests show minimal latency. My ISP claims everything is fine, but the problem persists despite changing cables and router settings. I’m frustrated because there seems to be nothing they can do to resolve this. Please help.
