hey guys, so iv had this issue for some time now.
the issue is that my internet speed and pings are normal when i test on speedtest.net but when i play games its really really jumpy and high.
i have an 8mb download and 4mb upload line and when i test on speedtest.net its almost exactly that, my ping is around 26 - 30.
i live in south africa so when i play on EU servers say for instance fortnite, my ping should be around 170 -210, thats fine. i can play on that, the same then PUBG and any other game that doesn't have SouthAfrican servers. but since about December it hasn't been running like that, its permanently jumping up and down "no lies" between 250 and 1000, the majority of the time its at 300 - 500, not as high in southafrican server but still the same from about 100 - 500. if it would just keep a consistent ping i would be happy.
i have phoned my isp and even had a technician from them to come over and see whats going on, they say everything coming from them is normal which i see is true from the speed test.
things i'v tried
1. updating all my drivers
2. making sure nothing is downloading or nothing is open in the background.
3. tried gaming vpn software's
4. making sure no one else is on the internet except me. i'v even unplugged the cable that comes from the modem straight into my pc so that my pc is the only thing on the internet and still the same problem
5. yeah i do also have an Ethernet cable plugged in.
i can think of so much more things that i'v tried but would take hours.
if someone could please assist me on this issue it would be much appreciated.
