Details that could maybe help? I dunno.

I have Spectrum internet. I have the best one they offer. In my area nothing else is feasible so as much as it pains me I can't change my ISP.

I play on PS4.

I'm using WiFi and have for a long time as the Ethernet port on my PlayStation hates every Ethernet cable ever. I haven't had any problems on Wi-Fi for a long time. My Wi-Fi is password protected and I seriously doubt anyone has guessed the password but to be safe I changed it, the issue persists.

I am awful at anything techy but my boyfriend isn't as bad.

The short version is my experience had been absolute trash lately In game because I have had the worst lag that I remember experiencing.

It's bad enough to cause my spells on RDM to start hardcasting because the dualcast proc doesn't make it onto my bar before I press the next spell, causes me to lose my targets because when I click to turn my camera (which I do often) it doesn't register that I held down the mouse button and untargets the thing I'm focused on. I basically can't heal for the time being because I can't reliably target anything.

I do the little 'test connection' thing in the PlayStation menu and get up to 50mbps which isn't awful but isn't what I used to get.

I don't know what else to do. I'm calling spectrum on Thursday to see what they say. This is really just making me lose my will to play as the two things I enjoy most (RDM and healing) are both basically unplayable with any semblance of competence.

Any actual suggestions would be very appreciated. Things like 'change your isp' or 'buy a PC' aren't really helpful. If there is something I can actually do in the short term that could help I am very interested. I dont mind spending some money but I'm not about to drop 1k on a gaming pc right now.

Thanks!
