Ping/Internet spiking with any new connection I make

[BlastaMastaa]

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this, but I'm having a problem I've never experienced. Any "new connection" I make while on my computer is met with an initial 1-2 minutes of very high ping or lag. So any new game of fortnite I enter, any time I enter a new discord server, any new lobby of any online game I go into I am met with 600+ ping for anywhere from 1-3 minutes. After that initial period of lag it is completely fine, literally never have any other ping or lag spikes. I really don't know what to do first to try to fix this problem, I've called my ISP and they seem clueless. I'm really unfamiliar with fixing internet problems typically so I don't even know what I should be trying to check, but this problem is extremely frustrating.

 

Tried:

Speedtesting while the "lag" was occuring, speeds seemed unchanged

Virus scanning

All drivers up to date

Resetting modem/router multiple times

 

ISP: Verizon Fios

Speeds: 100mb/s down 100mb/s up

 

RTX 2070

i7 6800k

16gb 2133mhz ram

Gigabyte x99-sli motherboard

 

Edit: After talking to ISP more they assure me there is nothing on there end causing this issue.

I ran ping test through cmd and the results show something is going on, still no clue what to do.

Have you scanned your computer for virus' or got a program installed that reads internet traffic?
Overactive firewalls can also cause this.

This is behaviour that rubbish sniffers normally present. They will route your internet traffic somewhere else and check for anything useful, if not then they allow the rest to be routed normally.

I ran a complete virus scan found nothing, then reformatted only to still have the problem.

Try running

tracert google.com

and see if any one of the hops is substantially longer than the rest.

I had varying results.

...you have a direct connection to Google?  I... huh... okay... I guess Fios would have that. Can you find something that does have a few hops? I mean, obviously it's something between you and Google, but that really didn't narrow it down...

 

For comparison...

I think this could be enough.
It's taking his computer 942ms to reach the router.... It should be a max of 2ms.
His connection to google is high because his router is slow.
