Unreliable ethernet connection & high ping on PC games

Hi everyone,

On a daily basis, I am experiencing a very unreliable ethernet connection from my router, which is a few feet away from my desktop PC.

 

On average, speed tests reveal that I'm clocking around 8mbps download, and 3mbps upload. In most online games, this equates to an average of 80-90 ping, which is very unusual compared to a comfortable 20-25 ping.

 

I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this - no downloads are going on in the background, and other gamers in my house don't have any issues.

 

Any ideas what it could be? Appreciate the support.

@funnello If other kit is not suffering this issue, it is down to something on, or related to your PC. What package are you on? Have you tried reseating the ethernet cable/trying another one?
