this is the tracert command when the ping is high from 8pm to 1am , download speed and browsing aren't affected only ping is affected as you can see in the screenshot what should i do to prevent this from happening?

You mean the 24ms ?

Time of day problems are almost always other people competing for bandwidth. If it is in hop 2 then you need to be very sure it is not traffic from your house. In general ping increases because of a problem called bufferbloat. The issue is if the traffic that is causing the buffers to use use is not your there is nothing you can do about it. Any other issue the ISP would have fix but they would have to first admit they oversold the bandwidth.

So hopefully it is some traffic from your house. Your router may give you a clue what the traffic is.

no iam not talking about the 24ms iam talking about the 170ms, rest of the day this 170 ms is 80 or 70 ms here is a screenshot when the ping is acceptable

You are going to have to test other ip addresses. This is very strange. It appears the routing is different. It is not uncommon to see a couple hops different in a path if there are redundant paths but these look completely different.

There are special IP link 8.8.8.8 that are not unique the same ip is duplicated in many locations and if you lose the path to one you can get to another one. I do not know if the main www.google.com works that way. I actually get different Ip addresses from different DNS servers.

In any case you can do nothing about the routing in the internet. You have no control over what path data takes. Your only option is to send your data on the connection provided to you and take data from the connection.

Making this even harder to figure out is the problem occur in routers with private ip addresses so you do not know which ISP is doing this.

The only slight possibility would be if you can find a VPN provider that you can get consistent latency to their data center. They may be then able to reach the destination machines using a different path

thanks alot bill001g for providing information on this, here is tracert of 8.8.8.8 when the ping is normal ( not at night hours ),

, i will provide you another screenshot when the ping is high, i also noticed something weird, i tested ping of alot of dns services with a program i can't even remember its name and the only ping that was normal was 1.1.1.1 i believe its cloudflare i set that dns to my router and windows but the problem still persists

i would do a full virus scan some of the ip on the first page lead to egypt then germany and france do also a malwares scan .

I would be really nice if the ISP did not use the 10.x.x.x ip addresses because then you could get some geo location information and maybe guess what they are doing. This may or may not be your ISP doing this. You could call and ask...assuming you get a tech who does not tell you to reboot your computer to fix it.

From what it appears the ISP that is running their routers with the 10.x.x.x ip addresses has issues connecting to some other ISP. Google actually appears to be a ISP they are so big and connected to so many other ISP. Although I doubt it is that simple lets say the peering agreement with google is during the day they can connect via a fiber in city1 but at night they must connect via the fiber in city2. You could try some other IP blocks and see if only blocks from certain ISP have this issue. For example you can use 4.2.2.2 which is level3.

So if I put your ISP into a tool I like it shows which ISP they directly connect/peer with.

Again your goal is to try to find a path that works and then hopefully find a VPN provider that has a data center on the network. This would hopefully give you a different path in the internet. You will become a expert at bgp by the time you are done.

unfortunately all vpn protocols are blocked in egypt, if i for example ran hide.e/hotspot shield it just keeps connecting without getting connected. 🙁 also you mean i should use 4.2.2.2 - 4.2.2.3 as dns?

That is not so good. It is really strange the most important connection does not respond. From the link I posted it appears your ISP direct peers with level3 so you would think you would get better times to Germany. Level3 which is now actually century link bought global crossing assets when they went bankrupt. Global crossing was a undersea fiber company. A huge amount of fiber is owned by level3 so they tend to have the very best latency between countries.

From what i remember when the fibers got cut a couple years back to egypt there is a fiber that run directly to france and another to italy. You should get well under 100ms to germany.

I forgot about the vpn block I though the government stopped blocking stuff. It would be really bad if it was some equipment the government puts in the path slowing stuff down because it is overloaded at certain times of day.

thanks for all the information you shared, i will go investigate and try to reach level 2 support, only god knows if there is even level 2, will also try to convince them to switch to fast path instead of interleaved
