A test I ran today.
And this is what I'm talking about.
This happens every day and every minute. However, it is not every day that I lose packets but simply just random 150-300ping spikes throughout it.
The last time I called my ISP about it, they send a technician and to my amazing luck it was a day of only 300ping spikes which for him is not a problem judging by his reaction "it's just for milliseconds". It is a pretty big problem for me as it lags the heck out of my games as it happens every 2-3 seconds. I think they are pretty done with me and are not even bothering checking and fixing stuff. I had this exact same problem and situation back in 2017 but after two or three months it got fixed somehow and I'm pretty sure the ISP didn't do anything. The technician plugged in the ethernet cable in his laptop after which he pinged different websites with "ping .... -t -l 4096" The ping spikes were there but no packet loss which is not a problem for him.
The only thing I can think about besides moving out of this internet is my ethernet cable. It should be at least less or more than 10 years old.
In my device manager, I checked for updates for all of these drivers and for only one an update was found not fixing the problem at all.
I've tried different routers and it is the same.
I don't have any background apps doing stuff with my internet.
Is there something more I could try or is changing the ethernet cable the only thing left?
