Gigafast 900 - Huge ping spikes in the evenings

James3793
4: Newbie

 

I am wondering if anyone can help me or give me any advice on how to approach VF with my issue.

 

I have had Gigafast 900 since December last year and its been amazing until recently. I usually get 900 up and down and its been pretty flawless for gaming. 

 

Last week I noticed something was not right while I was gaming so ran a ping test and found an issue. I am getting around 15ms but every 5 seconds or so, huge spikes of 300-500ms and lots of jitter on the line. I am not getting this issue at all during the day when I am working from home.

 

This morning I noticed I was being routed to Edinburgh which is obviously a little strange, I reset my router and now I am being routed to Birmingham which I thought would fix the issue but tonight, the ping spikes are still going on.

 

This obviously makes gaming impossible and this is the only reason I paid for this service.

 

I ran tracer route and got the following results.
