Well I will start with examples.
when playing overwatch it seems like I have a steady 150 ping while my friends that live like 10 minutes away from me having 80 ping, in every different game I have fine ping tested my Internet and all seems just fine I even called my internet company to ask for assistance I have reset the router I'm out of ideas, although it seems that sometimes when we switch map the ping goes sometimes down to its normal state 80-70 and sometimes the other way around it goes insanely high 250-350...

Thank you for your time and sorry for my poor English, every kind of help will be great!

Overwatch has a high server load, so pings could fluctuate often. If that isn't the case you could try this:

Open command prompt as an administrator and type:

ipconfig/flushdns
netsh winsock reset

Restart your modem and check your ping again! If your ping is still high, make sure there aren't any open applications in the background that are updating or downloading anything. Also turn off the Wifi or make sure no one else is connected to it. I'll come up with something else if that didn't do the trick

Hope you get better ping soon
