Hello,
Recently (Past 3-4 weeks) I have been experiencing extreme lag spikes and internet speed drops whilst streaming, browsing pages, playing games, ect.
As you can expect, it's detrimental to whatever I'm doing. The ping spikes started with a relatively low frequency, maybe 2-3 times over the course of a night.
However now they're multiple times per hour with the internet dropping and going into local mode extremely often, I don't have a clue about computers or internets and am so puzzled. I am with TalkTalk as an ISP, and these spikes happen all the time, not just at peak times. I'm talking 3am, I'm sat with my ping ranging from 2ms to 7000ms.
I don't know what details you need to evaluate my problem or whatever so just let me know and I'll get hold of them for you. The obvious thing is to call my ISP but of course I have, they see no problem with the line and area that I'm in and don't know why it's happening, they want me to pay £50 to have someone come look at it and bun that!
I have a few ping results to show for so here they are:

Have checked using the service status tool on the site and there is no issues apparently, but clearly spikes like this show otherwise.

Remember it is not consistently slow just a few times an hour it goes haywire for a few minutes, help!
Thanks :D
