Eashl. Buddy mentioned changing my dns on the Playstation. Did that. Still lag spiking. I've done the unplugging of the console and router/modem. Checked with provider for speed. All good. What else could you suggest? As I said before, all was fine right up till last Friday. Guess I'll try anything at this point. Thx.
Community ManagerWe're not tracking any server issues at the moment. Did your provider check for packet loss? Speed isn't normally the issue as you don't really need a super fast connection. It's more about stability. If you're getting ping spikes, that's normally an indications there's packet loss somewhere. Your ISP may need to check the equipment in your area for any issues. There are some troubleshooting steps here that may help, but I'd start with having your ISP doing some thorough testing of the signal in your area.
Ok I'll try that. Thx for trying to help. I appreciate your time. Will let you know. Thank you.
Called them, alls fine. I'm at a loss. Thx anyway.
Community ManagerI assume you mentioned this just started happening last Friday? Did anything happen to change with the devices connected to your network? Possibly, something is drawing a lot of bandwidth.
Also, make sure your modem/router has the latest firmware.
If you use a separate router, you can try plugging your console directly into the modem. This would bypass the router in case there are any issues with it.
Have you tried playing any other games where the network can be monitored to see if there are ping spikes? You could also try running a trace route program to get more details on your connection. Unfortunately, I don't have one I can recommend.
