Hey all, the last 2 days my pings really lost it. gone from a steady 200 to averaging 600+ to 5k lag spikes. it gets worse in WvW and better in PvP. nobody else is using my internet any more than usual, my internet just recently recharged which is 500GB. my MBPS sit at 55. im from Australia on an NA server but its always decentely consistent. these ping spikes will happen every now and then for upto a week at a time. how do I fix it, and what are the variables because it must be more than just “ping”?

EDIT: it also changes if lets say I encounter a zerg in WvW, or if my computer heats up.

If you mean the ‘ping’ that shows on the Options window, that includes server processing time.
