I've port forwarded, bought a brand new cat6 cable, had modems swapped from the CODA, to the XB6, to the XB7 and the same thing is going on. I'm at my wits end, I'd just like to be able to enjoy my hobby again without worrying about lagging in the middle of moments where response time and/or muscle memory timings are important. They all say the line is fine, they say they do a ping test, and that everything looks good in my area. Every single visit has not resolved my issue, not even temporarily. Then the next, they swap out my modem, say that is the cause, then leave, then repeat. I've honestly had probably at least 8 technician visits, each telling me signal levels are high or low, then making new connections and leaving.

Then the very next game will have 55ms average ping, and jitter jumping anywhere from 2ms to 15ms, with the highest I've seen hitting 19ms, and the usual average is at 5ms jitter. Once in a while i will have a game that looks normal. League of Legends has a log which lets me view the connection status as the game progresses. It now mostly rests at 39-41ms but additionally in quite a few of my matches i will have my ping rest between 55 to 65ms, and sometimes will drop down to 29ms for maybe one game and sometimes it just returns to 40+ midgame. However suddenly, my ping now inconsistently rises and falls from anywhere between 29 to 65ms. The last few years my ping to these games has always been stable anywhere between 27ms to 32ms.

Ever since roughly Mid-December to early January I've been running into a strange issue with inconsistent ping to League of Legends and Valorant on a WIRED connection.
