Fortnite is now unplayable - Major Lag spikes never happened before - its been a month

I been playing fortnite for 5 years and gaming in general on console and pc. Never had a problem I used to be with Sky and then switched to VirginMedia for the last 3 Years. Never been a problem never had bad wifi or any spikes but recently like a month or 2 ago Fortnite has now become unpleayable. I am getting crazy lag spikes as If y conection is constantly about to shut down from 2 ping to 140 and high pings such as 60 when I have the router next to my pc and always been on 0 ping or really good ping. I cannot explain or find a solution for this online and I have yet to get an answer from someone that knows whats going on. So I decided to make a post about it here today. I'm not sure what is causing this but it has happened randomly and it seems to only be a problem with fortnite I can play other games.

      Directly connected via Ethernet cable , I been having WiFi issues with all my games lately actually and I know it’s a problem from virgin media cause I checked down time and a lot of people complain in the north area of Manchester. Do you have any date when this will be fixed ..
