Huge seemingly random ping spikes

Hey,

I've got this problem where I try to start an online game, be it overwatch/LoL or even hearthstone. I try to start it up and it goes fine, until the internet totally lags to ridiculous ping (~2000).
The way my internet is set up is via a bridge to my laptop. The thing is, my desktop does not have a network card of some sort and I dont have a good quality network adapter except for a cheap TP-LINK TL-WN725N.

I have a laptop for my university studies which can easily connect to wifi and I used a network cable to bridge it to my desktop. As far as I know, the problem is not there since pinging google through CMD gives the same results on my desktop as for my laptop without the bridge.
I have internet from Online.nl in the Netherlands with coax cable, but I simply dont believe I can't go without 2000 ping for at least half an hour at any given time, even if the internet is low quality.

Can someone give me any tips for improving my internet quality?
(if I need to send some additional specs, I'll try to search for them, just ask)

Thanks in advance!

It's one of the worst ISP's in The Netherlands...

Try it on your neighbor's network.

Is it really that bad? I mean it has to be able to give me half an hour with at least decent internet around 200 ping?
I figured it was something on my end since that seems beyond shit.
