Ping Issues on Fortnite

Ping Issues on Fortnite

Hello, while I was playing Fortnite in Creative I realized that I was getting more ping than usual. In creative it shows that I get near 0 ping, but recently around the last 2 weeks, I have been spiking up to 20-50 ping. This may not seem much but the change from my previous ping which was near 0 hinders my performance and makes the game way less enjoyable for me. I have tried everything such as resetting my modem, restarting my computer, etc but still, I haven't been able to get a fix (I use a wired/ethernet connection and even tried WIFI just to test it out). I just want to know why I am getting more ping than usual compared to my previous near 0 ping.

I'm having the same issues. I've contacted epic games and they said it's the internet provider.

"This is almost always due to an issue with your internet service provider's way they are routing to our Fortnite servers. Internet service providers use things called internet exchange points to efficiently carry data from your computer to any destination. These points are along a path where data from your computer is sent to the Fortnite servers and back to your computer. If an internet exchange point is having trouble or goes down, this can impact your ping. While this is understandably frustrating, there isn't anything that we are able to do to fix these issues. The best thing to do is to reach out to your internet service provider so they can provide you with more information about what could be causing the increase in your latency or ping."

So xfinity will you look into this please?

@user_df9bf1​ I while ago I was in contact with them, we basically talked for like 6+ hours and they just repeated the same steps and ultimately I never found a solution or they couldn't even get to the bottom of the issue. I was thinking of switching internet providers and I think I might switch to fiber.
