High fluctuating ping with wisp

I've been having these problems since installing wisp last month. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'll start with 80 ping, and jump up to 150, 200, down to 120, down to 90, up to 200. Running tracert shows big 150+ spikes on random hops, and I'll run it again the same server is back down to 20-40, and a different hop will have a spike. I'll tried calling my isp and informing them about these lag spikes but they assured me everything looks good on their end.

I have tried with and without a router. I am on a desktop so I'm hard wired. It doesn't matter the time of day, however late at night (1 or 2am it's better for obvious reasons) but still an unusually high ping. Here are 3 tracerts. Two are to a server in Atlanta (for the game smite) the other is to the Overwatch servers in Washington (northwest coast). What I find strange is that the last hop to the smite server shows 50-60ms but in game I get over 100 and never gets anywhere close to 60. It looks almost like packet loss? Or possibly some interference. It doesn't matter the game, I always have a high ping with it constantly jumping all over the place.



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, whenever I call my ISP to help me fix this problem, they change a few settings such as the channel I'm on, etc. but it always makes it worse.

Edit: a buddy of mine that works in networking had some comments.

The first public address (between 192 address and 10 address)
That's your ISP's
So that's their gateway
but it makes no sense as to why it'd go from there, then bounce back into their private network.
At that point it jumps over to OneCleveland.
What's quite interesting is that the f***ing qwest loop you're hitting has more steady ping than this shit.
So anyways
Your connection is bouncing from your local carrier, to Cleveland, then to New York.
you>your ISP>OneCleveland (their backbone)>TATA Communications(THEIR backbone)
You have a serious stream issue.
So you have what seems like issues within your ISP's network.
I'm going to guess saturation
overselling, etc.
Then it goes out into their backbone, and you have issues there...
Again, I'm going to guess either saturation issues or ddos, but a ddos is usually temporary. Your issue is regular.

well what company is providing your wisp? If you are sending and receiving wireless internet into a large apartment building with concrete and steel reinforcements that could be your problem. Also many people are the internet in your area at the same time? Do you have access to other channels and tried those? Or if you have dish or direct TV piping you internet, cloud cover or inclement weather between you and the sat. Why did you switch from cable/dsl/fiber?

I'm using ncool.net. It's the only isp available in my area unless I want satellite. I live in a rural area with lots of farm land. There are only a couple houses nearby that are spaced far apart. I remember them switching my channel a couple weeks ago when I was complaining about problems and that actually made it worse so I may call them again to have them switch it back. I also use direct tv but the dish is on the opposite side of the house from where the wireless antenna is.

They also said I was less than a mile from the tower so my signal is really good.

How can it be "rural" and go thru onecleaveland? they are supposedly a muni-isp. They really need to look at thier peering. How far are you from cleveland?

ncool is out of Willard ohio. If you are in ohio even rural ohio you should have plenty of options to go with. dsl or cable and those should get you better. Hell even a Verizon or ATT phone as a hotspot should score you better
heck I used to live in Sheffield lake ohio about 45 minutes away and had better internet. if you are near Willard then you are between Norwalk and Mansfield or there abouts that area.

I live about an hour and a half away from Cleveland. Also, unfortunately, I am just outside the coverage of comcast/time warner. Basically any other decent provider. I'm not in the downtown area, but about 3 miles outside it. I've been calling every place I can think of, but I am just really unlucky with my specific location.
