Ping fluctuating/higher than usual

Started yesterday, around 25 hours ago. Yesterday I was full on lagging with my ping reaching the 300s making heroes fly across the map. I reset my router and that fixed it but then began fluctuating.

Today it was endless ping fluctuating. From 65 to 80 just non stop up and down.
Then I get put in these (I’m assuming) East EU lobbies way too often with around 100 ping, peaking at 150, which doesn’t help at all.

I’ve reset my console today before playing (more so bc I had to), I removed and reinserted the ethernet cable to make sure it’s well in there and it’s still the same.
Went to custom games to test, first 3 mins/match of gun game no CD is without issues, then when it reboots after the 1st one ends, most of the lobby leaves and the ping will be above 100 for whatever reason and not move, no one rejoins too which is odd and extremely unusual.

Genuinely don’t know if it is on my end or something with the game rn, players in the matches say they have something going on too. Can’t really test any other games as installing them would take way too long.

Was there any resolution on this matter as I have a similar issue with a reliable connection to other online/gaming services and doesn’t appear that support has offered any solutions after than running multiple ping and traceroute tests to which my local server doesn’t even accept ICMP echo requests.

I found out my LAN cable was worn out. Am all good now.

It’s been 47 - 200 ms for the past 5 days for me. Yesterday I also saw as high as 500 ms! I just quit playing the game. If they didn’t have crap servers, I’d get the Mercy skin. This game is poorly optimized and greedy. Won’t spend any money on a much needed East Coast server. I’m guessing it’s struggle to support its players over the holidays. When I play other games it’s incredibly smooth with no lag.
