Seems like everyone with any cable ISP has this problem. It could be a modem problem, but it's happened with a variety of modems. It could be an ISP problem, but both Comcast and Spectrum users see the same thing in my experience.

I'd be interested in hearing counterexamples, but I imagine that people with good experiences are on DSL or Fiber.

I can ping 1.1.1.1 right now at 12-15ms, or Google at around 20ms, via Comcast. Less than 10ms to either one on Optimum. But it's 25-30ms to ping Optimum from Comcast.
