So I've been having a problem the past week or two, and I'm still not really sure what's causing it. Every couple of minutes(it occurs randomly but is usually every ~5min) my ping spikes up to 600-800 ping and I I lag pretty hard for 5-15 seconds. I've tried everything as far as figuring why this happens, and I can't seem to fix it.
It seems to occur during 8-10PM which led me to believe it may be a problem with network buffering, although it never happened before in the past year or so.
Things I've tried:
Monitoring the bandwidth of my service
search for glitches or bugs that make me lag
watching each of my services and other's on the connection to make sure they're not secretly using a big chunk of the uplink
pls help

On wireless it can happen because windows decides to scan for new networks. There is a program called WLAN Optimizer than prevents this; also using the program that came with your wireless card (instead of the Windows Zero wireless utility) will also stop this from happening. Not sure why it would happen on a wired connection. You can try plugging directly into the modem to see if it's the router.
