ping has increased lately in games
Hello,
i have 60 mbps internet plan and used to get around 80 ping on league of legends. I believe their servers are in WA or CA. Now I get inconsistent ping from 110-170, and sometime spiking to 500+ which is unplayable.
Things I have tried:
Reset modem and router to factory defaults.
Unplug all cables for several minutes.
Called Cox who repartitioned (I think is what they said) the modem.
Tried playing on another computer.
Tried playing on wifi instead of ethernet.
Using google DNS.
Forwarding all ports the game uses.
Things I already know:
Ping doesn't always depend on ISP, and varies with the actual distance between myself and the server I am connecting to.
What ping is. What ping is not.
I play on a iMac, but also tried on windows PC. Does anyone have any suggestions on lowering ping, or why it would all of the sudden change when I have the same service? I really need to fix this.
Thanks!

I see that you've been issues with the ping times. Have you run any trace routes to the game server IP address? The ethernet cable should actually be a faster connection than the wifi. Can you run 3 trace routes to different sites and post the results? You can also run 3 ping tests to see what the response times are.

Below are three traceroutes. Does this indicate anything? Thanks for your help.
