and yes im using cable
and no one is using the internet but me what shall i do please ?

Going to a 1000 is a sign of bufferbloat.
You need to monitor your networks bandwidth from the router to see if it's swamped.
If you're on wifi you might have a bottleneck that's swamped.

Windows pc resource monitor will show that one devices network usage.

Run some speed tests and compare it to what service you pay for and post the info.

i did a speed test it tells me my ping is 150 and when i do ping google.com -t on run it tells me its 104 and i tried to open the resource monitor it tells me that my game is using the whole internet and when i end the game the ping goes back to 130 and when i enter another game it goes to 1000 again just over and over (note it started to happen to me this month before my normal ping was 100-108) thanks for helping

What speed are you paying for? Games use very little internet. no more than 75Kbs each way. Maybe more on some games, 200-300 with voice.

Is it wired and what type? Point to point wireless will have inconsistent pings or if you are at the end of their line it won't be consistent.
1Mbs is very low you have to make sure nothing is using the network while you game.
Are there any other competitive internet plans in the area or is that the only option?

It's very difficult to find bottlenecks, because there isn't a universal system of reporting packet loss to the end user. TCP will know it happened but not really where. Lots of switches and NICs drop packets and you might not be able to find any log. Are you in the USA? 1Mbs is insanely low. Broadband, FCC defined minimum quality, was increase to 25Mbs down / 3 up. If you're located inside a city there should be better options.

If the cable going into your modem is like the one for cable TV it's DOCSIS. If it looks like a phone line it's DSL. You would need a small dish on your house for point to point wireless. That's pretty much only in rural areas. When you are having high latency trying pinging your gateway and the next one to the ISP.
