higher MS ping than usual?

[Baler]

I've noticed that sometimes the Latency ms doesn't update properly. Like if I download something while playing it will stay abnormally high for a while after the dl is complete then eventually go back to it's normal ranges. It also varies zone to zone.

Similar boat actually though. for about half a year maybe longer. My latency use to be 40s now it's high 50s all the time.
I have screenshots showing my latency ms as proof.

12/1/2016 is when my latency became 50+
Before that date it was always in the 40s

I meant to bring this up but never got around to it. I have 1000+ screenshots showing my latency before that date. And several hundred after that date showing my suddenly higher latency.
The 40ms pic is from a zone with 200+ people in it mind you. The 56ms one is in a zone with less than 10 people. I have multiple screenshots from these dates and I compared various zones to verify it was just one zone.

Nothing changed on my end. I even just checked my hops and they're shockingly the same.
