Constant Ping Spikes

[Mazer]

I've been having an issue for a while now where my ping would constantly spike from an average of 20 ms to 500 ms every 5 seconds or so.

I attempted to troubleshoot the problem by opening up cmd and typing the following in

ping -t 8.8.8.8

which would yield the following

I've run the test on wifi/wired and through my phones wifi hotspot with the same results. Although through the phone the average ping was 60ms and spiked to 150 at the same intervals.

I've also tested this on a brand new Lenovo G50 with the same results.

With the pings being so high on the first few hops, I would say it's a problem with your ISP
