10-second latency spikes to Riot Games (Valorant) - routing issue at Independence, MO node
Hello Xfinity Support,
I have an open ticket regarding latency spikes I'm experiencing while playing VALORANT. The spikes last under one second, reach 90-250ms, and occur exactly every 10 seconds.
I've done extensive troubleshooting:
Ran PingPlotter traces to Riot's servers
Confirmed my home network is clean (no Wi-Fi issues, dedicated configuration)
Contacted Riot Games Support, who confirmed this is a routing issue on Comcast's end
My PingPlotter traces show the problem originates at:be-7-ar01.independence.mo.indepen.comcast.net
and continues through:be-2403-pe03.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net
The 10-second pattern suggests either a congested peering link to Riot's infrastructure or a route flapping issue at the Independence node.
I need to speak with someone in Network Engineering or Backend Support who can either:
Re-route my traffic away from the problematic node, or
Assign me a static IP address to stabilize my route
I can provide PingPlotter data, screenshots, and my correspondence from Riot Games Support upon request.
Thank you for your help.

This guy's way too advanced for me but I believe I am experiencing the same issue.
Started happening yesterday and is persisting today. I am getting consistent ping spikes where my ping will jump from a stable 26 ping to like 200 ping every ten seconds.
Not sure how to get this problem fixed at all...
