I've been experiencing really inconsistent ping times on my computer over the last couple of weeks, and I'm not sure what's causing it. I ran a ping test today, and while I normally get values between 28-33 ms, there are spikes that shoot up to 600-1100 ms every ten seconds, which is quite frustrating. Should I reach out to my internet service provider about this, or could it be a hardware issue on my end?

You might want to start by doing some internet speed tests to see what's going on. Try running a speed test on your computer and then do the same on your phone, both on Wi-Fi and cellular data. Share those results—this can help narrow down where the problem lies!
I tested it on my PC and got 47.2 Mbps download and 5.59 Mbps upload. On Wi-Fi, my phone had 36.2 Mbps download and 10.2 Mbps upload, while cellular gave me 71.5 Mbps download and 2.56 Mbps upload.
