How do I get rid of the gigantic upload spike?
If thats happening across two different modems then this may not be something that can be adjusted. Possible the ping testing is loading up and finding it higher as the test begins and as the test continues it lowers and levels off. your getting A+ so that's nothing to worry about.

You can help people to help you by providing the information suggested in this forum's header:
Subject (Include model number and brief summary)
Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)They are there for a good reason.
What model XR router do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.- I'm using an XR1000 w the current firmware version 1.0.0.0.64_1.0.49. Was using a Netgear nighthawk CM2050V and just switched it out to an Xfinity XB8-t and am getting the same results on my connection benchmark test in regards to the jump in upload latency. CAT 6 wires from modem to router and router to pc. Current router is in bridge mode as well. I've tried adjusting the congestion control some and even downloaded ping plotter but I honestly don't understand how ping plotter even works or how to take the information I get from it and apply it to the congestion control. From what I've read, adjusting the congestion control should level out the spikes in latency , but again, I'm not going to pretend I fully understand it.
