Solved: Ping spiking every 11 minutes

Been troubleshooting some issues and found this board. I'm having similar issues as others with high spikes every 11 minutes or so. It's been occurring for the past two months and I just realized there's a pattern to it.

Definitely an ISP or modem issue, not internal. 

I have a tech coming out to replace my modem next week, but curious if they will even be able to troubleshoot this type of issue?

Following this thread for guidance but also looking for any other information on successful remedies.

Problem solved. Although I did replace the modem I believe the issue was the old amplifier that was originally installed. Sounds like that's no longer necessary and was causing the issue.

Having exact same issue for the last 3-4 months.

The download speed has never been what I'm paying for [Edited: Language], I can't play a single game for more than 3-4 minutes without getting fully disconnected from shooting up to 5-6k ping.

Hello, @kacnh it's possible that a tech can fix the issue, it just depends on what's causing the ping spikes. This could be a bad signal or noise on the line to name a few commons occurrences. What day is your appointment?
