Hey all, to give some context: I've moved into my new (student) home last June, sharing my the building with 8 other people. Now before the summer break and shortly after I've gamed and had no issue whatsoever. I play a lot of Overwatch and Battlefield and used to have no problem. Now I suddenly get (since about 1.5 month already I think) a lot of high ping spikes. Games become unplayable for me. With battlefield games I just get kicked out for high ping, which is even more frustrating as I played the BFV Beta with no problems and now when the game comes out I will probably even not be able to play it.
Just some more information about this complex. Everyone gets their own ethernet connection in their room te set up their own wi-fi or whatever they want. I have my own router plugged from my ethernet port in which then connects to my pc.
I've tried unplugging the router etc. the usual stuff. I've tried plugging the ethernet cable from my port directly into my pc, (so with no router interference), reset the modem downstairs (where the internet connection from the ISP comes in), and resetting the divider which divides this connection to all the rooms. The problem still persists. It's super frustrating as this takes all the fun away from my moments of relaxation, but as other things such as surfing, and youtube etc. are not affected by this much my roommates don't notice it as I've asked them and I don't really notice these problems in everyday browsing aswell.
I did a traceroute test, which looks like this:
I've then subsequently pinged the first and second hop, and the ip 8.8.8.8 below:
First hop:
Second hop:
Ping of 8.8.8.8
I've looked at a lot of Fora searching for an answer, and my landlord isn't really helpful either. I've read that this problem at the second hop might be something with the ISP is it not? Might they be able to resolve the issue?
This has been a long description of a problem and I sincerely hope someone can help me out, it would mean the world to me. Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
