inconsistent ping

[news]

[wireless]

I play an online video game in which having low ping is very important. The game is played on servers in Kansas, where I can get 52 ping on a good day. My issue is during the last few months my ping keeps going up, sometimes as much as 30 ms higher. I play at a pro level and such an increase in ping has a drastic effect on my performance. I have fibre optic and I use ethernet for my computer. A year ago this wasn't happening, and the issue has followed me since I've moved from Saanich to Victoria proper. I have tried using nordvpn to change my routing, sometimes it decreases my ping and sometimes it does nothing.
