Patchy internet connection

Recently our internet has been really patchy and laggy and the ping has been spiking. we usually have 2 laptops and 1 ps3 going at the same time. 

 

a few months ago we could all play fine, now if i try and play battlefield 4 or COD or something my ping spikes (I just got kicked with 1300 ping which was spiking from 35-65).

 

i was wondering if anyone knows why all of a sudden my connection has gone really poor in the past week or so? 

 

thanks in advance :)

 

speeds are:

ping 2 - down 98 - up 15

Have other people on your ISP or in your area been having issues lately? Or is it just you with those specific games?

The other thing I can think of is perhaps you are near the limit for your bandwidth for the month.  Depending on your plan there might be a cap of like 100 GB or 1 TB or something per month, and if you are at or over that they could be cutting your speed steeply.
