Same problem, high ping and packet loss makes game unplayable

Donāt worry, itās just as frustrating for you as it is for me :ā) 
For the DNS Cache : Unfortunately, Iāve already done it twice since yesterday and it doesnāt change anything :')
For the Taskmanager : Iāve got only The game launched, and the high ping is here too :ā)
Thatās reassuring! I felt like I was the only crazy person experiencing this bug!
Which internet service provider are you with?
Today I was looking for a solution and Nord VPN configured for the Netherlands helped me. Although there is no such problem in other games and there never has been. My internet provider is called OVIO and I am from Armenia.

I am unsure if this is a bug or some other sort of issue, but I am having a problem when playing on Realms with other people where the ping when playing will spike significantly at consistent 1 minute intervals. I have checked this interval with a stop watch.
My ping for the majority of play will be steady at 40ms-50ms but every minute on the dot it will spike anywhere between 600ms to 5000ms for around 2-8 seconds before calming down to the baseline again.
This makes playing the game excruciatingly difficult as if I am in a fight during one of the worse spikes it is likely I will die, which when youāre deep in a Crucible run is a horrendous feeling. If Iām not in a fight then it appears on the server side your character stays still, so the game will rubber band aggressively until the spike ends.
I suspect it may have something to do with the way the server is saving or retrieving/sending information as it is a perfect 1 minute timer every time. No other games or processes do this on my PC, and Iāve tested it on other PCs where it is easily replicated, and the spike will occur on two different computers with different players at the same time for the same duration while connected to the same realm.
I am located in Australia and play on the AU Realm servers as are the people I play the game with. We have absolutely terrible internet in this country, particularly in more remote areas. I very much suspect this would be affecting other players here.

EDIT:
I am also now finding that the Realm server gets easily overwhelmed when another player joins. Whoever is currently playing gets a ping spike going up to close to 7000ms before being disconnected before the joining player can connect at all.
Then both players will have the trying to reconnect screen which then gives an error and both end up at the main menu. It doesnāt seem to matter who was on there first, if someone joins then there seems to be a chance that it will kick both people and no one can play together.
This doesnāt happen every time I attempt to play the game, not sure why it does it sometimes but not all the time.

Hey King_of_Swords,
Could you read this topic and see if you can find anything applicable for your situation?
Would you please start with all suggested solutions?

I found this thread not long after I posted my own one actually, itās a good idea to merge them as it does seem to be the same sort of problem.
Iāve gone through the various troubleshooting steps listed here as well as trying to switch around some of the more obscure settings on my router but nothing seems to make a positive difference.
Itās the only game I have that seems to have this issue, and I canāt observe any pattern in my networking that correlates to that 1 minute timer.

Finally someone who have the same issur 
Friday, normally, Iām getting fiber optic internet installed at my place.
Iāll give you an update on whether that solves the problem or not.

I also have had this issue. I assumed it was from server overload on the free weekend, but it was even worse this past Sunday. I didnāt get out a stopwatch so I canāt say it happened every minute on the dot, but it was a constant cycle for hours of playtime.
I wonāt have time to try any of the fixes until this weekend at the earliest, but it isnāt heartening that they havenāt worked for the other people on the thread.
Iām playing on the US server from the West Coast. My coop partner has had no ping spike issues from the Midwest. Iāve never had this issue in any other games.
