@user_m0a8n9 Thank you for making us aware of this ping spike issue you're experiencing via Forums. I would be more than happy to help figure out a solution with you. So that we don't go over something you've already done, can you please share with me what troubleshooting steps have you completed on your own? Have you by any chance used the Xfinity app to reset the modem? How about a power cycle, have you tried that?
