Random high peaks of latency/ping (Tucson Area)

During the past few months i have had a sudden peaks of ping/latency, the problem is that when i play game or videos online i have sudden "disconnects" forcing me to refresh the webpage or re-enter the game. i have called support a few times, in which they were able to minimize the problem but it is still present.

MODEM = Cisco DPC3825

what i have done so far was to:

-reset the modem (a lot of times)
-Connected it via cable instead of wireless (did nothing)
-Moved the modem closer to where the laptop is.
-Changed the Wireless Standard Channels to those with Acceptable interference
-Changed the Wireless security mode to WPA2-Personal (in my opinion this helped quite a bit)

Everything else was done by the Support Service.

After this, the problem was still occurring so i decided to test it with another laptop/device, and it appears the problem is withing the modem/service because all that devices that i tried  had the same problem.

 here is the test i usually do to check how my ping is doing. the left one shows when i am not using any applications that are connected, and the right one its when i have the browser or any games open.

The ping date you posted is useful for showing there is an issue somewhere however doesn't tell us too much about where the issue may lie.  Could you try posting some trace routes to see if we can catch the issue occurring at a particular hop?

Nothing looks unusual there at least but I did reset the modem as how it doesn't appear that has been done recently.  Let's see if that helps at all.

it appears that the reset did not resolved the problem, i tested the connection with the cable and wireless, could it be that the modem is the cause of this problem, or is there another way to verify what the problem could be?

I'm still not seeing any indication of problem from this end suggesting that maybe the issue is related to the router functionality.  One last thing you could try before arranging for a service visit is doing a factory reset on the device itself.
