random 10000 ping spikes after changing isp and modem

Ping spikes randomly over 10000ms

hey guys recently i changed isp and ever since have been (sometimes occasionally, sometimes rather frequently) these massive ping spikes where my ping will spike to over 10k for no apparent reason.
ive tried reinstalling my drivers, and im certain its not my pc causing the issue because the same thing happens on all the other devices in the house.
i ran a tracert and here are the results, not sure what spikes on 3 and 8 means so if you could help me out that would be amazing

The trace does not show a issue. Your 10000ms is likely something else. If you had a issue you would see large numbers on the last hop also.

ping/traceroute is a very brute force tool for checking for issues. It can find large ones but does not do real well on some.

One of the common reasons for pings to some devices to do this is ICMP is consider low priority. If the device is busy doing something else....like passing actually traffic... it will delay responding to the ping and it may even not respond at all. It means nothing it just means it was making sure the real traffic going to the actual device you want to talk to gets though.

A more complex reason is because traceroute only shows you the path in a single direction. All hops including the end device may follow a different path coming back. So traffic going to any particular IP may actually follow different paths back to you . It is very hard to determine this.

Still it doesn't matter. If say hop 3 were delaying data by say 100ms all traffic beyond that point would be delayed. It would not delays just certain types of data. You would see every ip past a certain point go up.
