Ping spikes
“Hi all, I’m seeing constant ping spikes and jitter when playing EA FC 26. My normal connection seems fine: 500 pings to 8.8.8.8 show 0% packet loss and ~15 ms average. But in-game, my ping jumps constantly, making online play unplayable. Seems like a routing issue to EA servers. Has anyone else seen this? Any tips or fixes?”Football games unplayable on ps5
Seriously don't bother getting virgin media if you play football games online, it is absolutely shocking how bad it its, 90% of games are totally unplayable. I have the 1gig fttp which is great for downloading etc, but my ping jumps around like nothing else in online football matches and I either get visible lag or it freezes and then goes crazy fast and out of my control, but my players always seem out of sync with the game not locking onto the ball and just unable to do the simplest of things. Happens on any football game, at any time of day or night I get warning for bad ping during matches or really high ping that fluctuates throughout. Warzone/battlefield etc play fine (that i can tell). Virgin say my setup is fine because my speeds are good and stable, but that's not what gaming is all about. Honeslty wish I never took the contract out and can't wait until I can change isp.High Ping in online gaming (PS5)
Hey, I’m struggling with really high ping in online gaming, varies between 48-90 ping then sometimes shoots to 121ping. I play on my own servers I’ve tried everything possible I even have ExpressVPN router connected thinking that would help the ping but it’s still the same ping. I play on PS5 with Ethernet. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.Experiencing high ping spikes
Hi, I'm currently a Virgin Media internet subscriber to a package with speeds of 1000mbps down and 50mbps up. In terms of speeds, my internet has been perfect since first getting it. However, over the last few months my internet has degraded when playing multiplayer games. When playing titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Rocket League, and even Forza Horizon 5, ping previously was consistently around 20ms-30ms depending on servers etc. Now, my ping can randomly spike: sometimes as low as 40-50ms, sometimes as high as 800-900ms. Its getting to the point where multiplayer games are unplayable. I'm of the belief that its oversubscription but I'm hoping that its a router problem and that it can be fixed by purchasing a better router, but I don't want to make that investment until I know. Any help is appreciated!
