Hi everyone.

I'm one of those guys who just love to game the whole evening, but in the last couple of months, I have discovered a very annoying problem with my connection. Every day around 10:30 pm my latency spikes from 52 to 1500 ms. Sometimes even more. This happens for about 20 minutes before the problem disappears.
Have no idea what to do. I don't have any bandwith consuming planned for that specific time.
Btw. I live in Denmark

Have you contacted your Internet provider?
What type of Internet service do you have, DSL, cable, something else?

I've Got cable from the Danish Company TDC. Can it be a problem from the provider??

Also, scan for malware/viruses. Some phone home or send out spam emails at regular intervals.

Yes, it could

If you are connected by wireless to your router it could also be radio interference.
