Really Extreme Lag Spikes... If anybody is willing to help me please do! 2 Years of this...
Hello. For the past year, almost two now, I have been experiencing terrible lag spikes when playing video games. I have tried everything in this world to try to fix it, and the ISP will not help anymore. Wired connection does not help, and it is not my console because I have tried it at other peoples' homes and it works fine. I am going to attach photos and videos of what happens. If anybody has any idea how to fix this please tell me!

what modem/gateway do you have?
do you get the lag spikes if the console is plugged directly into the gateway?

Plugging my console directly into the wifi still does not work. The spikes continue to happen, and I have tried a new router and the same spikes still happen. Look at this video...

Do the lag spikes happen if you're connecting directly to the modem?
