My whole internet dies as soon as the countdown ends

I have a repetable lag problem where i will be sitting in spawn, with no lag, then as soon as the countdown finishes the game is unplayable. I have tried testing in a custom game before joining a proper game so i don’t get kicked out of the game but it dosn’t happen there. The strange thing is that it is not just OW that has no internet. I have had powershell open pinging google.com for the whole time, I have 15-30ms round trip time for hours before hand, then the game starts, all the requests time out until I am kicked for inactivity, then, within 30 seconds, it is back to normal. Has anyone experienced anything like it? My ISP says they prioritise game traffic over other traffic.

Can you try working through this troubleshooting first. These basic steps will go through things you can do on your computer and router that can clear up symptoms like the ones you describe.

If nothing there helps, lets try to get a better idea of what is going on. Start up a normal game of quick play, and once you are in press Ctrl + Shift + N. This will put up a large graph with several moving graph lines. No need to pay attention to them but look for large orange or white boxes to start scrolling past. Once you notice the trouble in your gameplay, see if those colored boxes start to scroll by and if so which colors.
