So lately I've been getting crazy ping spikes all day and I don't know why. I tried pinging my router and it still says 1 ms, even when the spikes happen. Then I used tracert to google's ip (8.8.8.8) and the picture shows that https://imgur.com/UXtOw5n View: https://i.imgur.com/UXtOw5n.png. I then tried pinging google.com with a /n 1000 setting when I get these spikes it just shoots up to like 1000. So I guess it ain't my router and now I'm lost on what could be wrong.. ( UPDATE ) Pinging google now looks like this https://imgur.com/Leo8KcL View: https://i.imgur.com/Leo8KcL.png

I'd talk to your internet company. You probably'll need a brand-new modem...

I was hoping for an easy fix like this, lol. I just want to know if a new modem will solve the problem. Thanks!
