What does Haste do and what can I do to fix ping spikes without it?

[bryannt2oo3]

So for some background info, I started playing Fortnite on my new PC but I kept have ping spikes and lag. My ping would jump from 60 to 100-300. I tried every "how to" on reducing ping but none of them worked. I still don't understand whats wrong because on console I can maintain 60 ping with no lag. So today I discovered Haste which claimed to reduce ping spikes. Thankfully, it worked and now Fortnite runs smoothly at 60 ping.(Btw 60 ping is considered good where I live). So now the problem is that my Haste trial only lasts 2 weeks before I'm required to pay a subscription. What is Haste doing that reduces my ping spikes and can I "copy" what it's doing? Or is there a similar program I could use for free?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from bryannt2oo3 : "What does Haste do and is there a free alternative for it?"

So some background info, ever since I started playing Fortnite on my new PC, I would constantly get ping spikes and lag. Most of the time I would have 60-80 ping for a short while then it would jump to 100-300 making the game very frustrating. I tried every "how to" on reducing ping but none of them worked. I couldn't understand what was wrong because I can maintain a stable 60 ping on console. Today I discovered Haste which claimed to reduce ping spikes so I installed it. Luckily it worked and now Fortnite runs smoothly at 60 ping. The only problem now is that my Haste trial only lasts for 2 weeks before I have to pay a subscription so I'm wondering if there is something I can do to reduce ping spikes once Haste expires. Is Haste even necessary or is it just doing something I could do on my own by tweaking some settings? Is there a similar software I could use for free?

Thank you.
