Okay that is normal. Are you using DumaOS Classified Games or did you add a manual rule? I would suggest following this guide while heavily downloading and changing your Anti-Bufferbloat percentages (while using Always) to see what lowers the ping/keeps it the most stable. That will optimize it for your specific connection. http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-how-to-test-your-internet-ping

Thank you, I did pingplotter and it looks like my ping is spiking all over the place when I'm connected to google's server. Even with anti-bloat on always. Going to order a new cable and possible play with the modem, that could be the issue. I'll keep playing with the percentage for anti-bloat and see what comes back. Thanks again for your help, I'll post the solution when I finally get it nailed down.
