Horrible intermittent latency issues, any advice?

ARandomDog
I've been around

I've had 3 Rogers techs sent out, one who replaced the gateway and another which identified it as a "neighborhood node issue" and said technicians would be sent to make some adjustments to the neighborhood node. For several hours each day, the latency seems to be horrendous but speeds seem OK in general. Very disruptive to work from home / gaming / video calls... Any advice?

Below is an example where I was just pinging google.com repeatedly. Also note: results are the same on ethernet vs wifi and bridged mode with my own router vs Rogers gateway. I've also tried the regular troubleshooting steps (power cycling, modem on it's on electrical outlet, different locations for the modem, etc.).

Ping Example

I've enjoyed my experience with Rogers so far, but this is becoming unacceptable for daily use... 😢

Hello, @ARandomDog.

 

Welcome to our Community, and thank you for your detailed post!

 

Intermittent ping spikes can be disruptive. I appreciate you posting the ping and traceroute results. It takes a little time to complete the neighbourhood network uplift when the issue is identified as a node issue. It's likely already prioritized; however, we can get more information and expedite your neighbourhood network enhancement. Please send us a private message at @CommunityHelps. We detailed more info about our private messaging in this blog

 

Cheers,

RogersMoin

Hi. Was your issue resolved? Would you mind updating further on your issue.
I have been having the exact same issue since at least Feb 2023. Been in touch with level 2 tech who has confirmed that it's related to a network uplift and some software bugs they experienced from the vendor of the node equipment. At this point, I am paying for two internet services at home. One for better speed and another for better latency and work from home needs (Bell).
