Constant high ping in League ever since yesterday?

So I've never experienced over 20-40 ping on league, and all of a sudden i get this constant 130-200 ping since Jan 20. My ISP is Verizon Fios so idk if that has anything to do with it, but although i've tried literally everything it doesn't seem to make a difference. I noticed that its only my ping ingame on League that changed, nothing else has been affected. Anyone else experiencing this and/or know how to fix it?

Meanwhile where I live you are basically forced to have Frontier as an internet provider and my internet will randomly cut out once or twice per day because their servers need to be constantly repaired and fixed. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/018/012/Screen_Shot_2015-05-12_at_3.31.31_PM.png

I thought it was just me. Normally i'm a solid 29, now i'm staying at 133. One strange thing I noticed though, 2 games so far that have gone past 35 minutes my ping goes back down to 29, maybe just a coincidence though.

I tried power cycling my router and flushing my DNS, nothing seems to help lower my ping though.

EDIT: My ISP is Fios as well

Blizzard has now fixed this issue for their games (thread), the problem seems to be with a middleman provider called Level 3, and affects Verizon/Cablevision users. It's not a throttling or Net Neutrality thing. See the traceroute below and threads on BattleNet forum(s).

Hi. My friend and I are having the exact same issue. Both live in Virginia and our ISP is Verizon Fios. Went from 20-40 ping to a consistent 130. We have no issues with any other games. I looked at the /r/leagueoflegends subreddit and noticed people having the same issue. I called Verizon and they told me it is not an issue with them, that it is most likely an issue with Riot. I think that is unlikely, but of course they probably won't admit its an issue with them. They told me they had nobody else report the issue.

Same here, also Fios. High ping started around NALCS but I already submitted a ticket QAQ

Thank god this wasn't just me.. I lost my first 2 ranked placements cause of this. It was fucking terrible, I've never experienced ping above 40 and suddenly it's at 140 for 2 days straight.

**By the way, if you're looking for a quick easy fix, download the program "Haste" it has a 15 day free trial, and it put me back down to 30 ping consistently. Soon as I downloaded it my ping was better and I'm on a 3 game win streak. **

... that sounded like an advertisement, oops. It did help me though haha

Yup. Got from 20-60 to random spikes of 130, sometimes even 400.

I had this issue started last night as well (I blame NA LCS) >_> I was playing with no lag earlier in the day yesterday. Lost a game just now because ping spiked to 170 for the last 10 minutes of the game. Verizon FiOS in Maryland

Please Fix this Riot!

I've had a similar problem as well, started about 3 days ago, i suddenly just start dcing and my ping goes up, or i dc and cant move but my ping remains about a constant 45-55. So I'm not entirely sure what is going on.
