So about 2 days ago I started getting lag spikes on any online game I played, for example Overwatch, my ping would go up randomly up to 1000 and I always play on 35 and that's been happening even on my pc when play Counter Strike, I am using Ethernet on both my ps4 and my pc, I've never had this problem before and restarting my router didn't work.

If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Open multiple cmd windows in the background. Let constant ping run to your router ip in one and something like 8.8.8.8 in the other.

See if you get corresponding spikes in either window when the game show issues. If the route IP is ok but 8.8.8.8 has issues it indicates a problem in the network. You would have to do more testing to find where but it may be just easier to call the ISP.

This can be caused by traffic so be sure nothing is downloading and overloading your internet connection.
