Problem with ping on 5g internet

[bonk]

So, I have a problem with ping in cs2 using a 5g network connected via ethernet cable to my computer. On speedtest my results are: 20-30 ping and 40-120mbps download speed.
I will add that the problem occurs only in cs2.

The problem is that during gameplay it teleports me a few steps left/right and this is accompanied by a ping spike of up to 400ms.

If it helps anything to analyze the problem this is the message that pops up in my console:
"cs2 [Shooting] cl: Player bonk, tick base 38765, weapon services didn't find a shoot position history entry for [ #38767, #38768, 0.737 ] -- history only has entries 38735 to 38765. player interp amount is 0.016[Shooting] cl: Player , tick base 38765, weapon services didn't find a shoot position history entry for [ #38767, #38768, 0.737 ] -- history only has entries 38735 to 38765. player interp amount is 0.016."

Only problem temporarily disappears when using USB tethering from a phone on which mobile data (LTE) is enabled -- last speedtest: 42ms ping, 27mbps download speed, then the gameplay is smooth and without any lag.

More or less the situation looks like on the video from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1dtwyfp/cs2_micro_lag_but_ping_is_okay_does_anyone_know/
Practically the same lag and ping spike

Oh nice! But you need to be careful with your phone by USB tethering could charge your phone from your PC because charging overnight or keep it charge for long time could lead to battery issue also you were using 5G mobile data transfer all network to your PC may lead to your phone overheat.
I have question here, what are reasons you avoid using wired cable? Hmm, 5G mobile data is good but just for emergency only hehe.

This was one of the more reasonable offers from my internet provider, a 5g network with a modem that collects the signal from the antenna. The internet itself goes via ethernet cable to my computer. Just where I live there was no way to connect wired cable internet.

You can try running a speedtest. Speedtest dot net will give you a ping and an upload/download latency.

If you are on windows, you can open command prompt and write:
"ping -n 20 8.8.8.8" which will ping the google DNS server 20 times.
Notice if there are large variation in the reply times you get.

As you can see, your ping varies from as low as 26ms up to 208ms.
And this is only a small sample compared to the constant communication needed for a 'smooth' online experience.
Unfortunately wireless internet can have very unreliable ping and have spikes.
Afaik, this is especially the case for 5G as it is much more dependent on load in your local area, due to it's short range.

You can try to do a comparison with your LTE to see if there's a difference.

5G is unstable and even though it gives good ping and download speed its vulnerable to having random ping spikes and other delays/package loss.
Speedtest might looks good but it doesn't compare to a stable ethernet connection. Get home internet + cable for CS, it takes away all your problems

[bonk]

Alright, thank you guys. I'll be talking to the ISP about embracing a new and better internet connection.
It's a shame, because you used to be able to turn out nice numbers on this internet when it comes to ping and download speeds. Recently, the results have dropped heavily, and this was probably already a sign to think about changing the Internet. I was hoping that it would be possible to fix it somehow.

Good luck.

hey, mate. In which room is your router and where is your PC?

I wouldn't be too worries about this.
The video is talking about a X4-ish flare, while the largest was recorded in 2003 at X45.

"The most powerful flare on record was in 2003, during the last solar maximum. [...] the flare was later estimated to be about X45."

No doubt a huge flare could wreak havoc on the it-infrastructure all over the world, but earth has been bombarded by stuff like this for millennia.

Cheers.
If more and more people in your local area have gotten 5G recently, there's more 'competition' for the available connection. (Again, due to the short range of 5G)
That might explain why it's gotten progressively worse.
I think the only thing that would solve the problem would be if the provider installed more access points in your area.
Maybe the power of the signal from your router affects the result, but I'm not sure about that.
Placement of your router can also affect your result, as Sinjaab mentioned.

Best of luck finding a solution.
