Higher Ping Across All Severs Using Spectrum Internet in Florida

Hi everyone!

I'm writing this in hopes that I can get even more evidence for a problem plaguing people in Florida who use Spectrum internet. In about the last two days, I have noticed my ping across all servers go up drastically (e.g my normal ping to Georgia is 25 ms but within the last two days it is not in the 56 ms range).

I thought it was me at first, but no amount of plugging and unplugging or factory resets fixed the issue. I decided to explore around to see if other people faced a similar issue and found out it this was not an isolated incident. Below are some threads I found on Twitter with those living in Florida who use Spectrum sharing the same sentiment.

I also have three buddies in the area that reported the same issues about ping across all servers (our best sever is Texas now at 40ms). There is also another post I made to the Spectrum reddit and found people also had the same issue.

I also believe that this issue is on Spectrum's side as I have other friends who use a different ISP who report no issues with ping..

I am trying to raise awareness to see if Riot will communicate with Spectrum to get the issue fixed (It would be hard to convince a Spectrum tech that an entire state is having issues).

I am making this post to raise awareness and see where it takes us.

Thank you.
