Zen internet maybe ? I know for sure they have a static IP.

Vodafone have a lot of issues with throttling, for example Twitch/any streaming website. They don't have ping issues though.

Ok thanks for the explanation. I'm just paranoid, I had the worst experience with BT that it made not want to deal with any ISP related with BT. Shame I'm stuck with openreach because Virgin refuses to cover small towns. I had the worst possible service from BT that even the ping spikes...

The issues is also within EE and Plusnet you can check their forums by simple Google ping spikes whilst Netflix. So yeah since they belong to BT then they should be in the avoid list...

Be aware if you are going to move to BT or any ISP owned by BT: EE, Plusnet etc.... https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2019/08/customers-of-uk-isp-bt-see-multiplayer-lag-spikes-during-streaming.html Glad now websites picked up on this after we had to deal with this for a full year.

That's what I'm going to do anyway! Shame we don't have virgin available where I live. I just hope these issues dont follow me so finger crossed. The BT forums are full of ping latency complains. A simple 480p video will cause your ping to spike. Of course BT are staying silent since they don't...

I just created an account to say BT is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Long story short, I've been having these ping spikes where my ping shoots up from 12 to 400 ms for few minutes before it drops back again. I've had 4 engeniers visits and no issues were in within my line, I got...
