*I'm not very computer savvy, so if you could dumb down your questions/explanations that would be grand.
Alright so I've been having ping spikes on every tf2 server I go on. It never used to happen as much as it has been over about the last month. It happens about 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes lasting hours. It seems that when I stand still, it remains stagnant (around 75 on the particular server I usually play on) but when I start moving around it spikes up to around 200 and sometimes as high as over 400. And I get the typical doors not opening until a second after I walk into them and players and projectiles teleporting around the map.
It doesn't seem to be my fps, that stays about the same even when my ping spikes up. I keep getting told it could be my Internet service provider, and if that's the case, is there any practical thing I can do to alleviate the spikes?
Please halp meh
