wifi lag
my computer is connected via ethernet to my modem and my date plan is 1.2 gb down unlimited and yet i still have 100% packet loss spikes and big ping spikes that cause me to teleport around and disconnect while playing online games which is a big issue to me considering I do this as my second job, i test my network, it says everything is running fine, have restarted router, restarted pc, nothing works.

Two issues can cause this. First signal problem. Is your modem connected to a splitter or directly to the wall. If splitter you may have signal issues. Way to test plug coax directly to the Modem reboot modem and if fixes problem you need a tech visit. Other is you may have a bad modem. If its an Xfinity modem simply go to a store ask for a new one. Your modem should be White and an XB7 if from Xfinity. If its black then you have the wrong modem for your speed tier. If the modem is your modem purchased from a store then you may have modem issue which Xfinity cant help you with as its your property. Give me more info I'll see if I can help further.

Is this with a WiFi connection ? If so, for a test, does a computer / device that is hardwired directly to the router / gateway device with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?
With this test, we are trying to isolate this down to being either a WiFi-only problem or a problem with the general connection to the Comcast system which would of course affect both. It's a good first step of troubleshooting before proceeding any further.
