Hi all,
Since nearly the beginning of quarantine I've been having issues with online internet on only my Personal Computer. In various games on nearby servers I would be recieving ping spikes of nearly 100-200ms more than I should've been getting, this was manageable at the time as we assumed it was a router problem, so we sent for a new one and had it replaced. The issue persisted and I would continually continue to get severe pings spikes, however it would drop down to normal (20-50ms) and would later jump back up to high ping.
I managed to find a temporary solution where I would remove and reinsert the wi-fi adaptor, however the issue would persist on both wifi and ethernet, and therefore was unlikely to be an issue with the adaptor for either the ethernet cable and was instead a problem with the router and internet service provided instead.
I recently moved back out to student accomodation, and to my surprise the ping issue has gotten worse, when both my phone and roommate's devices have completely normal download, upload and ping, mine are worse than they were back home, leading me to believe it's actually a computer error, after trying several youtube tutorials and attempting to install drivers and update windows (which I'm having trouble with due to the very low download speeds), nothing has currently fixed or altered the problem in any noticeable way.
Any advice or help on what to try next would be greatly appreciated.
