Hello! And thank you for taking the time to try to help me.
First, I have Suddenlink's 1 gig internet service. I am hard wire connected on two different gaming PC's. Everything was running beautifully since I set up the second PC about a month ago. About a week ago, I started to notice some lag spikes in game and so I began troubleshooting. Firstly, I did a ping test to my router. I consistently get results like this from pinging just my router. Every 10-15 seconds, ping spikes to as high as 300ms, and then goes back to between 1-10ms. Command Prompt log below:

I tried then pinging google, and this was the result:

Very similar. Now, I've tried the same ping tests on the other computer, and have gotten the same results. Two different PC's, two different ethernet cables, same problem. I tried replacing the ethernet cables, same problem. I even swapped out the modem/router combo for a new one, same problem.
Things I have tried:
Pinging from different computers
Pinging over wireless
Pinging over ethernet
Swapping Ethernet Cables
Swapping Modem/Router
Booting into safe mode with networking
Disabling Delivery Optimization Win10
Enabling Preventing OneDrive from doing anything
Restarting Computer
Restarting Router
Factory Resetting Router
Moving router to different location (in case of interference)
The new gaming PC is basically on a fresh copy of windows, so I don't imagine freshly wiping windows will do anything for me, especially when I ran the ping test over wifi on a laptop running Ubuntu.
All testing resulted in the same ping spikes and there has been no break in them. I've tested at all hours of the night and day.

I'm genuinely stumped. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
