Huge lag spikes with no ping increase?

Lately I've been getting giant ping spikes while playing, to the point that I'm disconnecting at least 4 times per game. My first game went fine, a slight hitch and that was it. Afterwards, my next two games were almost unplayable. I'd constantly get "Attempting to Reconnect" be fine for literally 5 seconds and then get "Attempting to Reconnect" again. Outside of League, my internet is completely fine too.

Is anyone else getting bad spikes or do I need to call my ISP?

It can seem like your internet is fine on websites because they don't need real-time data every milisecond the way League does. League requires a very consistent connection in the way that Youtube or browsing the boards doesn't.

I've been having the same issue.

You're experiencing enormous packet loss friend. Normally it won't be super noticeable but online games will make it extremely apparent when it's happening.
