Ping Spikes when gaming

I play the online game League of Legends, and whilst I have not had any connection issues whilst using BT, and when I initially moved to plusnet, for the last couple of weeks I will get ping spikes every minute or so that will rise from around 50 ping to sometimes as high as 2000 ping before dropping down again, occasionally disconnecting me from the game entirely. As you can imagine, the game is unplayable with these spikes. I have tried many solutions which have failed, like disabling IP Helper, using google DNS, Stopping superfetch, using ethernet cable connection, none of which have worked.
In case needed, here is a speed test performed on my internet.
Ping 14ms
Download Speed 4.31mbps
Upload Speed 0.18
Please help asap, have tried everything now except switching ISP, which I don't want to do but will if necessary.

That certainly won't be helping matters.
How do you have your connection setup? Is the router in the master socket or a extension?

Is there anything I can do to increase my upload sync speed, do you think that might be what is causing the problem?

Can you see if you have a test socket and connect to that?

To describe what is happening in game, quite a lot of the time, it functions perfectly fine.
However, sometimes I will get spikes that go up to somewhere between 250-800 ping, although it doesnt function like normal lag either. There are small jumps of a couple of seconds in which the game is frozen and irresponsive to any movement from me or other people in game, and then speeds up to compensate for the movement lost in this small freeze. From what I've observed, it seems most common between like 14:00 - 19:00, and I live in Ladywell, Lewisham if it's a locational problem.
I don't know if you can help me or not, but would appreciate any advice, thanks a lot.
