High ping in evenings (tracert >100ms to first external hop)

I have had consistently high ping to any service in the evenings. This ranges from starting at as early as 5pm to as late as 11pm. During the day I tracert 8.8.8.8 at sub-30ms readily. During these windows I will reach as high as 120ms ping. This has only been an issue since September 2025. Previous service has been great.

I have tried the following steps to resolve this issue during these windows (many have been tried multiple times):

  • restarting routers
  • factory resetting routers
  • firmware/software updates on routers
  • etherrnet/wifi change in cables, connection point, and distance
  • machine restart/software update (PC)
  • service endpoints (game, tracert, speed test sites)

I'd like to connect with the appropriate technician to share the data I've been acquiring and resolve this issue.

user_abl6j1 Thanks for reaching out about your high ping issue. I would be happy to help find and resolve this issue for you! 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" If necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person".

Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it
