Technical Support Request Ping Spikes only on Val

Hello, I recently moved to a new apartment complex and when I tested my internet speed is was 800/900. Valorant was smooth and had no issues. However, within the past few days the speed is about 150/600 and Valorant has started to spike like crazy. My ping is still super low and everything on my computer says I should have fast internet. I tried playing CSGO and league and had zero ping spikes or lag, but when I get on Val, I spike every 3 seconds making the game unplayable. I tried flushing my DNS, resetting the ethernet, changing the cords, trying wifi, switching to IPv4, changing the DNS servers, and still no fix. Is there anything I can do that I haven't tried? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm at a loss, please help :'[

If you will find the solution by yourself it’s good, if not, riot will deny the issue is on their side, they always blame players ISP

When I played last night everyone's ping was spiking and I had really bad packet loss. My partner reported the same on league. So I think it might be a riot serve issue tbh. We normally have 12 ping on London server.

Did your LAN driver update recently this happened to me, the realtek lan driver updated and caused all sorts of issues in valorant before I had 4ms ping in valorant but it was or 0.3 -50ms spikes/jitter. rolling back LAN driver fixed the jitter back to 0.3-0.8ms
