US West Servers between 6-9 PST are unplayable

Every single night, about 6 pm to 9 pm PST the game just becomes unplayable. Every 2 to 3 seconds I will spike from 21 ms to 400 ms and back. It started about 1 week into the league and every day since it has gotten worse. What can I do to figure out if it is on my end or not.

Hey, if you want to determine if it's a routing, ISP, or server issue follow the instructions below when the issue is happening.

WinMTR High Ping Packet Loss Test

WinMTR

This is what GGG recommends:
Ensure to do this when the lag, high ping, packet loss, or connection issues are happening.

After running this test per the instructions please link the URL of the pastebin back here

The instructions are the same for PoE2, just locate the file in the appropriate installation folder.
