Seattle Area Residents Can't get under 200 ping...anywhere?

For months now I've been plagued by intermittent (but almost always present) lag spikes and packet loss and tracert's always show the same thing...I can't even get out of my own city without going fomr 16 to 200+ ping because of these congested areas have been well known for years it seems based on internet searches (most of which come back to posts on this site that someone updates for a few months before giving up)

I had a prepaid code for ExitLag that seemed to help for the month I had it, but I don't want to pay $6/mo or whatever just to fix the garbage routing of a $100 internet service.

I've seen several in app messages about scheduled maitenance in my area come and go...each time hoping it'll be a fix, but it never changes.

No other ISP option on my street besides 5g garbage. So apparently I'm stuck with this "sweet" 2gb down, 250mb up connection that I can't play games on or stream videos without constant spikes and packet loss. There must be other routing issues outside my own city also because my ping doesn't just spike to 200ish in games...it goes to 1500+ every second or ever 3 seconds.

Any other former complainers of this still around with advice other than move to a new street with other ISPs?

Thanks and sorry for sounding so negative, but I'm tired of this issue getting no attention. Take care.
