I've been experiencing network lag spikes and stutters when playing dota 2, especially if I have a VoIP program running at the same time as playing. It doesn't seem to matter what time I play, it's always just as bad. I haven't known for this problem to happen with any other multiplayer game that I play, but I have to admit that I don't play many other games.
My ping is always very low in-game, so it's just spikes rather than constantly high ping.
I've ran a wireshark capture already, that I supplied the support centre team with. I was spectating a game on an EU server when I recorded this capture. The traffic seems to be managed correctly, so I'm wondering if maybe it's a problem with my line?
I use wireless internet, and unfortunately, wired internet is not an option in my current living situation. I get a very strong signal strength, and don't have problems with any other applications. This leads me to doubt that it's the wireless card that's the culprit.
Here's a tracert that I did to a Europe West server:
Tracing route to lux.valve.net [146.66.152.1]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 1 ms 2 ms 1 ms dsldevice.lan [192.168.1.254]
2 13 ms 12 ms 12 ms lo0-central10.pcl-ag08.plus.net [195.166.128.189

]
12 26 ms 26 ms 26 ms gw.lux.valve.net [146.66.152.1]
Trace complete.
My speedtest results that I just did now are: 67.81 dl and 18.71 ul.
Thank you to anyone who reads this.

I've tried looking for your Wireshark Capture but can't see it attached to your ticket, have you uploaded it somewhere? If is, any ideas where it is so I can take a look for you?

One is from Feb. which I sent to the support team (or at least I thought I did) and the other I just captured 10 mins ago.
Is it okay for me to be uploading these captures publicly?

Do you connect to a specific server? Or do you know what the IP addresses are in these WS Captures so I can take a look at them?

In the old capture it's 146.66.158.52 as the game server.
In the latest capture it's 146.66.153.130 as the game server.
Both seem to be located in Luxembourg.

This is the best thing I could find: http://imgur.com/nPVnxJk
That's a screenshot from my computer, connected to an EU West server.

Quote from: Kelly Does it spike all the time? Or only at peak?
All the time, unfortunately.
