Hey guys.

So here's the story. I randomly spike upto like 1k ping for a span of 5-30 minutes at a time like 5 times a day, even at 1:30am.

When I get these spikes I notice that my internet speed is 100% fine and also no one else is using their network devices and I check my processes and nothing is making my ping spike like that.

I ran a speedtest couple of times while this happens and speedtest comes up with normal results too. I know its not my device as the ping spikes on my other devices such as my ipad too.

So basically I'm getting these random 1-2k ping for a span of 20-30 mins while no one is downloading or uploading. I don't think its congestion in my estate since this happens past 12am as well. Could this be a modem issue? Because this used to not happen like 4-5 months ago.

When it's happening, run a traceroute to somewhere like google.com (google traceroute if you don't know it) - it breaks down the hops individually so should be able to show you where the problem is on the run - internally, from your house to your isp, or from your isp to the wider internet for example.
