Sudden Internet problems, please help.

Yesterday evening my internet connection suddently got extremely bad. I was playing black ops 2 and suddently got a 999 ping and couldn't play anymore. Since now it hasn't changed. I am connected with an Ethernet cable. But all other devices in the house do also have extremely bad connection. Has anybody any idea what and why this is and how I can fix it?

Have you try resetting your modem/router??

Of course

Is it bad only when on wifi?

 

While wired, do a speed test. If its fine you might want to check your router's radio settings.

 

It might have gone bad.

I have done a speed test both wireless and wired. For example when I am pinging Google the average m/s is around 1060 and a speed the average download and upload speed on my iPad is around 0.3

You should call your ISP then. They'll check it for you in an instant.

Only thing you can do is call the ISP. Could always try unplugging the router and modem for an extended period of time (upwards of 5 minutes) for a complete power cycle, but ISP sounds like your best bet.

Also see if anyone's phone in the house is going insane trying to sync, I had a friend over a few months ago, let him connect to my wifi, and the connection was completely unusable until I booted him off. Worth a look, start shutting off devices or boot them off, one at a time, and run speedtest. It took me 20 minutes in my situation, and it blew my mind that a phone could crush my network(Very fast AC). The phone was trying to upload gigabytes worth of data, video's mostly. My pings to every service were 1500-3000ms.

I realized that always when my brother was in his room, the Internet got bad. So I asked him to switch the Internet off to test if it is him who is creating the problem. And guess what, seconds after him switching my ping got back to 21 m/s. He was probably streaming from a bad website or something.

Thank you everyone for answering and helping me.
