Ping Spikes/Lag When Gaming + Netflix is on BT TV Box

Spoiler

The main issue is online gaming. Previously my son and I could play games online at the same time using seperate PS4's but now we can't , we get really bad lag.

Hi David,

Exactly the same issue as described above - did anyone get to the bottom of it?

I have a Home Hub 5 type B. Generally 70+MB down and 20+MB up. Wired to games PC, Netflix via wifi from TVs.

Doesn't matter which TV is streaming, my ping spikes every two or three seconds. gaming is almost impossible.

Any advice please?

Cheers

Hello just the quick update on my case . 

I've been contacted by the community team last week and they did some changes on their side .

Since last week I am monitoring ping and traceroute daily . And it's a massive change from what it was . I can finally play and watch any streaming service at the same time . No more lag spikes . 

@DavidM  Massive THANK YOU for the help .

Hi @DavidM

I am having exactly the same problems as discussed above. Ping has become unusably high while my housemate streams netflix (Ping is affected both on my PS4, and my laptop), and the connection becomes very unstable. This has definitely not always been the case.

Please advise !

Thanks
Matt
