Online Gaming Unplayable

Doesn't matter the time of day, could be 11PM 4PM doesn't matter INSANE amounts of ping spikes makes any online game unplayable. I paid for Gigablast + Unlimited Data + Elite gamer and have since cancelled all but Gigablast because of the dogshit quality of my connection. Techs have been out and I've called Tech support half a dozen times and nobody can find the issue out. Coming here as a last resort before switching to an even more dogshit connection via century link's 30mb copper wire in hopes of more stable ping. Been a Cox Client for many many years and extremely disappointed with this level of quality. Can literally not play anything online. Heres some data from one of the last times I used Elite Gamer:
