I had thought the lack of fluctuation was when you went straight to the modem instead of through the router. Is that not the case and it's only happening when pinging easo.ea.com?

Just keep in mind that it could be hardware related. I understand it worked for 2 years, but your ISP could have also made updates to their network or an update to the modem could be causing this.

I also have more control over them and my monthly internet bill is less since I'm not leasing their equipment.

Bruh, there’s been an update to the game and I don’t see you even acknowledging a possibility that it could be stemming from that, and unless you want to blame literally every ISP an Xbox is connected to your point is moot. He is not the only one with this issue—full stop.
