Lag Spikes caused by random spikes in ping

Recently when I’ve been playing Overwatch(on pc) I have been gettting constant lag spikes. During the lag spikes my fps stays the same, but my ping and IND jumps up. This problem has only started to happen recently, and although the lag spike is not that bad, it can be very frustrating when it’s happening constantly during competetive, and is making competetive nearly unplayable for me. A video of the lag spike happening can be found on my channel: Sam Lubelsky. Help would be very appreciated

I don’t think they know how to fix this, or don’t care, because this has been a recurring issue for months, and has been getting worse, not better. Pretty much everyone is experiencing this in game, and it is making some games almost unplayable. Playing as junkrat, and having a sudden two second delay makes it pretty hard to hit with a well-timed mine. I think I’m just going to uninstall and stop playing because the devs clearly aren’t interested in fixing this. There are plenty of these reports, and I don’t see any that have been addressed by tech support.
