I am on wired internet, so it isn't a wireless connection (but it is comcast internet, so there is that). Anyway, I get a solid 50-60 ping to pretty much everywhere but when I join servers for scrims or matches my ping starts spiking from average ping to around 800 and then back down.
For a while it felt like a time specific problem as I would experience the ping spikes between 8 and 9:30... but everything I've tried to isolate this has not worked. I've gone around and kicked everyone else off the internet and prioritized bandwidth allocation for tf2 to limited success.
I'm hoping that someone else has experienced this issue and might have some suggestions on things that I can try to fix this issue.

I'd love to have a solid 50-60 ping. But instead I'm stuck with 80-120 ping usually!
I used to have quite a few large ping spikes that would drive me up from 80 to 200 ping with my old shit router.
I got a newer asus $100 router that seems to handle more network usage such as someone on youtube or skype at the same time that I'm playing TF2 a lot better. Other than that I don't really have any other suggestions, other than making sure your computer isn't updating things while you are playing (windows updates, AV, torrents etc)
