Windows 10: Ping Spikes, randomly and frequently

Ping spikes, Windows 10, over all connections.

Hi, I have been getting huge ping spikes / drop outs for a long while now and can't figure out what's causing it.

I'm 99% sure it's my laptop, because I've done ping tests simultaneously across multiple devices/connections and only my laptop ever has ping spikes.

I've tested ping via the command prompt, pinging 8.8.8.8 and for the most part I get between 9-20ms. Every now and then, it will go into the 100's, then drop out and come back, all in the matter of 3-10 seconds. Now I realise for the average user this would never be a problem, but for playing games, this causes an instant dropout.

I've tested on my home WiFi/Ethernet, using my phone's 4G, all have the same result. I've checked there is nothing else using network through task manager and there isn't,

Any help or answers would be appreciated, Thanks!

Random Ping Spikes

As of two days ago, I have been getting random ping spikes. I have done speed tests, and get normal speeds, but when I ping my router or other sites, such as Google.com, Ill have random spikes of up to 400ms. It will be a stable 1ms when I ping my router, but will randomly spike to ~400ms at random intervals. Any help is appreciated. I can supply any screenshots if necessary.

 

Random Disconnects and Frequent Ping Spikes??

Ok, as the title says, I'm getting random disconnects and very frequent ping spikes during games. The disconnects seem to happen after the computer has been on for a while. I'll leave my computer on at night seeding some files and the next morning nothing I won't be able to access the internet. A simple restart fixes this though. To make sure it wasn't just my computer, I got set up a backup computer running Win7 RC right next to my main one and it works fine.

Also, during games (BF2) I get a very high average ping as well as frequent ping spikes. My average ping will jump from 30ms like it should to around 300ms. Then sometimes, it'll spike to 600ms or something then it'll go back down to something near 300. I know this is isolated to this computer, because I got BF2 running on the backup computer and went to the same server and its ping was like 30ms, while my main computer was like 300ms. Both of these computers are plugged into the same switch, which connects to a router.

I've also checked the background processes. Everything that isn't necessary to game with was killed. So the only thing that would access the internet would be the game. Still had the same issues.

Just for fun, I even threw another NIC that I had laying around. SAME ISSUE. So that seems to eliminate the mobo's integrated NIC as the issue.

I don't know where the problem lies. It's frustrating because this ultra fast watercooled quad core machine can't get a decent ping while this other Pentium D machine plays fine. *Bang Head :banghead: Help is greatly appreciated.
