So here is a wierd problem I've been having for a few weeks now. I'm on sky unbundled DSL ~18Mbit/s
My latency will rocket up from ~25-40ms to 500-700ms randomly in the evenings for a period of between 5 and 10 minutes. To try and get to the bottom of it I've looked into these things:
1. Its not wifi, im using a wired connection direct to router.
2. The time it happens is random but after 9pm always.
3. I installed TCP Viewer to see what was being sent/received, nothing unusual on my PC
4. I disconnected every other device from the network.
5. Line is solid as a rock, I'm ~1km from my exchange, it never drops, only latency spikes.
At 9:56 PM it was this

Any ideas ? What else can I try?
Sky just run a line test and tell me its working. They have finally agreed to raise it to their network team if it still happens in a day or two but its every night and its wrecking my Overwatch games!
