What would cause this problem/how would I diagnose it

[BodarkMan]

In many of the games I play and on any system I try it on(wired and wireless connections), I get random lag spikes over 999ms. I've run packet loss tests and usually find 0% losses. I have also tested a spare router and the same issue occurred. Any idea what this problem is/ how I would diagnose if it's on my end or the ISP's?

It could very well be the game and not your connection

But it happens in all the faster-paced games I play where low latency matters, and I can tell it happens in other games too but it doesn't affect gameplay.

The more people logged into the game can cause it to slow down.
