Ping spikes

[#1]

ping still going crazy as well?
which gateway were you on when you did that test?
is this test done with the new router and new cables etc?

[#2]

You are currently connected to gateway pcl-bng01. still usin New PN router & new BT modem all new cables again , Unfortunately Mr HMRC are messing around and still await my tax refund to be able to purchase a new VDSL 

[#3]

Uh oh, HMRC
Hope you get your new kit soon then, I'm hoping it should make a difference.
For the meantime though I'd hop away from pcl-bng01, It's never played nice with me I'm on ptn-bng02 right now and it's very good, slightly lower pings and I'm not getting that mysterious http slowdown from it.

I think this is the place to make my comment on my issues.
My gaming is grossly affected for the past week. I am always getting a slight pause (packet loss or lag spike, not quite sure) very frequently when gaming. It doesn't matter whether I use wired or wireless, or restarting the router, playing in daytime or nightime, I cannot play anything without making the players online thinking im trolling them.
Anyone got any suggestions how to fix this?

I am currently on fibre, and the game is League of Legends.

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752664-Troubleshooting-Connection-Issues#section-...;   have you had a look here first ?

[#11]

I have not yesterday as it was working completely fine a few weeks prior so I did not assume that my settings would be a factor.
I have went through the link anyway and went through all of them except for port forwarding. Port forwarding I have tried for half hour-hour and the plusnet router keeps saying "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this content", so I have given up on that step. With "Packet Loss","Packet Buffering", I get
"Minor Aberrations
–
    Network packet buffering may be excessive"
With details as:
"Network buffer measurements (?): Uplink 2000 ms, Downlink is good
–
We estimate your uplink as having 2000 ms of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time. "
Any problems here suggests it is the interent provider's fault.
That said, I have tried a "practice game" with League of legends and it seems suspiciously fine so far. Ill wait till later in the evening and give it a shot again to see if it is fine.

[#12]

sounds like you have same problem as me  the PN router although ok for most surfing is pretty poooh when it comes to gaming , i had the netgear router before and was vastly superior to this sagecom 
Hopeful i will have my problems fixed by the purchase of a router , i have ordered a ASUS  RT-AC68U not cheap but if i can play and watch iplayer without problems its worth it

[#13]

ah alas ive tried gaming a moment ago. Unfortunatley the issues still exist here, albeit a bit less pronounced. Is it a router problem then? thats a bit of a waste of 4.99 p and p if it can't hold up for more than 6 months. Ill probably go check out the other routers and see if it is worth replacing.

[#14]

for 90% of PN customers Yes its ok  like me i am happy with PN BUT when it goes wrong !!!! is always when i am playing bf4 
so i am wrong to a point because i complain about 10% of my connection , But its that 10% that is most important
PN do you hear me
