Ping and Lag Spikes in online games even while connected to ethernet

My ping spikes from 40-60 all the way up to 100+ which makes me lag back and forth in online games, is there any reason that my internet is performing so inconsistently when connected to game servers?

High network usage within your home or on your ISP's network can cause ping spikes. If other devices are using a significant portion of your internet bandwidth (e.g., streaming videos or downloading large files), it can impact your gaming experience. Consider optimizing your network usage while gaming by pausing downloads and minimizing other activities.
