Literally just use an Ethernet cable if you can. Wi-Fi is the enemy of stable ping.

Might be a bit out there, but switching your DNS settings to a more gaming-optimized service like Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) sometimes does miracles for your connection stability. Worked for me at least!

Experiencing ping spikes in CS:GO can be super annoying, but here are a few tricks that might help. First off, try restarting your router; sometimes it's just about giving that old tech a rest. If that doesn't help, check for any background applications that might be eating up your bandwidth - yes, I'm looking at you, streaming services and auto-updates! Lastly, consider connecting to your network via an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. It's like choosing a sniper rifle over a shotgun for a long-distance shot - more reliable.

All these tips are great, but sometimes the issue is with your ISP. If you've tried everything and still suffer from ping spikes, it might be time to give them a call. A sad reality, but not all heroes wear capes; some wield tech support badges.
