Ping Spikes in Online Play

Hey y’all, I was wondering if anyone else is having crazy ping spikes in the game this year or not. I’ve been playing since 24 and this is the first year where I’ve had my ping go from 20 to 1500 for multiple seconds. Basically the game freezes for half a second then it’s fine for 5 seconds then freezes again. This is the only game I have the problem in and my WiFi gets speeds excess of 600 mbps download speeds on my PS5. Ethernet doesn’t change anything. I’ve reduced my maximum ping to 30 in the matchmaker to see if that helps, but to no avail. My ISP came by to check the router and modem and confirmed there is no issue with them. If this helps - I live in Central California and my ISP is Spectrum.

    Hi there. It's very possible this is due to being on a wireless connection. Can you switch to a wire or is your router too far away?
