Extremely High Ping While Online Gaming

Hi! I've been having high ping in video games for a while now. It was really good when we first switched to Xfinity from AT&T but after a few months it started getting worse and worse. I spoke to an agent and they did some tests and gave me steps to troubleshoot. We had a tech come and the issue still persists. I'm getting upwards of 70 ping on California Servers which pales in comparison to the 15-20 I was getting in the beginning.

I play professionally and this has been an ongoing annoyance. I've already tried many troubleshooting steps, but have had no success.

Thank you for reaching out to our team here. I will be happy to take a look at any issue with your service from here. Are you using a Xfinity modem, or do you use one of your own?

Thanks for confirming @user_y6jikd. Does this usually happen during peak hours? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Was the technician able to locate any issues when they came out?

This happens at all hours. I've tried the following: different ethernet cables (over 10), different devices, factory reset devices, restarted modem, flushed DNS on PC, tightened/loosened the coax cable, restarted devices, completely reset our network to defaults, reinstalled the games on different drives, tried bridge mode with a router, probably more I can't recall. When the technician came it was due to the ping issues and us having no internet. The problem was the coax cable so he put in a new line and left swiftly but couldn't ask about the ping problems That was the only issue he observed on his visit.

Since you’ve already ruled out the ethernet, cables, DNS, and bridge mode, I'd like to take a closer look @user_y6jikd.

Please send a Direct Message to "Xfinity Support" with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account to get started.
