Random high network ping (Restream frame drops)

I'm currently using restream to serve streams from my local church to both youtube and facebook but it has had intermittent issues. For weeks it will run flawlessly at a perfect bitrate with 0% dropped frames. Then it will drop 30% of frames or more and have a horrible bitrate for no apparent reason, and then it will be fine for the next several weeks. I started the stream today it worked flawlessly for a few minutes, only now I am having issues with dropped frames. I have run a few ping tests and the ping to known IP addresses is incredibly high, with 1.1.1.1 averaging 200 ms ping. I checked on a different computer and the ping is equally high there, so I suspect some issue with the network, but I personally have very limited knowledge of how it is configured. Any ideas as to why a live stream would experience such problems seemingly at random?

 

(I'm getting worse ping to my home network 5 miles from home than I did on a train in Pennslyvania using train wifi.) :P
