Good Internet Speed/Upload but Spiking Ping? (zerobytes.monster)

Hello,

I'm running into an issue with my network lately. I am Verizon Fios 1gig plan.

I ran speed tests on speedtest.net and verizon page which give me good results on speed, upload and ping (950 download, 950 upload, 4 ping).

However, whenever I play a game, I get these intense spikes of ping. It's especially bad when I try to stream on discord. It's happening on both wired and wireless connections.

It's definitely not a hardware issue. Been running my pc setup for a year with no problems.

I'm not sure what the issue is.

Has anyone ran into this issue before?
