High ping on close server, low ping on far server

Hey guys. I live in Western Canada and so my closest server is supposed to be Oregon. But a couple weeks ago my closest server became Illinois/Texas even though I have not moved.

I used to get 50ms ping on Oregon before but now I get 100 ping for that and 97 ping for North California. By contrast I get 47ms ping for Illinois and 67-70ms for Texas.

Has anyone had this issue and found a fix for it? Even if you haven't had it, does anyone know of a possible fix? I can't properly play with my friend that literally lives in the same city as me.
