I've started playing some games again recently and have noticed that my ping will occasionally go from around ~30ms(+-10) to around ~300ms. This results in highly noticeable lag. Ruining the experience for some games, while also making others completely unplayable.
Latency test on speed.cloudflare showing some spikes:

Although the spikes do show through external testing, it does seem to be more frequent in-game. Spikes appeared when testing on multiple devices.
