High Ping whenever gaming

I have had the alienware 14 for just over a year now. I have no complaints whatsoever until recently whenever i try to play game such as League of Legends or Battlefield. I stay at a constant fps (for league I purposely cap it at 60) but i have high ping. Its not really a ping spike that occurs every 5 or 10 minutes but rather fluctuates between high and low ping. 

I have tried re-installing the wireless driver (Killer Wireless N-1202) as well as rolling back the graphics driver, however nothing has worked. The internet I am using used to work fine for me, and still works for all of my housemates, so I highly doubt its the isp. 

Any help will be greatly apprieciated

Try a real Ethernet wire to router (even if it's a long one) ... Cat-5e or greater.

That should troubleshoot problem and help point you in the proper direction.

Use www.SpeedTest.net to test speed, ping, etc ... outside the game and you can compare with other computers on your local lan.
