At random times when I'm browsing the internet or playing games, i'll get huge lag spikes (ping is 600+) and I have no idea why and I want to fix it. It doesn't happen to anyone else in my house and nobody else is downloading or ever streaming anything. I have a wireless connectionto my computer from my router.
 
Solution
Wifi could be the issue. The simplest test is to connect via Ethernet. Also try doing a pathping to your favorite pingable service, like Google DNS(8.8.8.8 or .8.8.4.4) and see where the ping spikes start.
