i had my internet provider come to my house and check everything, modem and cords, outgoing and incoming were all fine. but my internet is going sooo slow. my pings are between 300-900, they jump all around. itll be 200 one second, 800 another second, 80 the next second, 400 the next second, etc. and the internet is really slow, sometimes not even connected. is it my ethernet cord? is it my router? how can i check these things? i am unable to directly connect to the modem. how else can i check my router and ethernet or if its related to my pc?

right now i disabled my firewall (windows) and it started working, and reenabled it and its fine now. but then i do speed test and its fine, all the numbers are good, ping is 88, and i go into a game and pings are in the 800s. internet isn't too bad. almost all day i was disconnected completely. what's wrong....
