Poe2 constant network spikes

Every few seconds the network latency just spikes over and over with around 2 seconds in-between. It does not matter if I'm moving or standing still, its unplayable. This is not a hardware issue for my PC as graphics either high or low change nothing about the spikes. I've tried changing the networking type to predictive but nothings changed. Additionally, the spikes slow down then speed up. For example there will be 5 seconds of peace, then 15 seconds of crazy stutter, and then 5 seconds of slower stutter. Repeat that over and over again.

This is not a new issue, this began around 4 months ago, I tried fixing it then but found nothing worked. I hoped it would get fixed in an update. It has not.

Is there any way to fix this?

there's no fix if your ISP is Telekom or is using Telekoms routingnetwork, otherwise -> https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1377789/page/1

grab the IPs from your logs and post it at the megathread

My ISP luckily does not use telekom. I did what was in the thread you posted, but I don't understand what the mega thread is? And should I use multiple Instance IPs with WinMTR?




This is the IP of the instance I used ---> 109.200.210.87

And below is the pastebin link of the winMTR data
