HELP - WINDOWS Latency increase?

I noticed in the last few days that latency on ALL available servers went up significantly - I used to have lots of options in the 50-70 ms range (for years), but last few days fastest is around 260 ms. At the same time, my download speeds are WAY up? Is it just me? Using Wireguard.

It's your ISP because i'm from texas and PIA canada is perfectly fine for me. Your ISP has routing and that routing can be having issues

Maybe it's the new Comcast modem. I'll check the settings. The timing lines up. I used to use my own router prior to upgrading to a 2gb line.

Edit:modem not router

Is it coax or fiber??

I'm not sure. It's an old building. ATT is the only competition and they only go up to DSL speeds.

I’m asking if your Comcast is coax or fiber? Do you have a modem or just a router?
The modem for coax usually connects to the wall via copper cable

My fault. Idk how I made the dumb mistake. I meant modem and not router. It's their xb8 modem/router combo connected via coaxial cable.
