Latency increases during afternoon/evening

For the last few weeks my latency has been spiking in the evenings from its usual ~50-80 to 200+ and sits there for the remainder of the evening. I first assumed it was something on my end, swapped in a different router and am still experiencing the same issue. Rest of my internet seems to be functioning fine, streams/downloads at least.

Time-of-day internet latency changes are usually the result of oversaturation on the ISP network.

In the test, the ping is hitting 70–86ms within Frontier’s network before reaching Blizzard’s servers.

Is the best way to address this getting in contact with my ISP and telling them what’s happening?

Yes, but they may consider this an acceptable ping level, so temper your expectations.

People in Oceanic have 300ms constant.
