I've got a super fast internet with ping ~ 10 in CS GO but it's literally unplayable, just like most games. I don't have any problems with streaming videos in highest quality or downloading extremely large files so it's not related to the speed at all.

Any ideas what might be the cause?

If you are using wifi, you need a clap around the ears...

There's nothing wrong with WiFi itself dude, get your facts right.

My PC is a freaking rocket. Localhost runs with ~1 - 2 ms too. However, I just realized it works well at night, so there must be something wrong with ISP.

I think what he implied was to get Ethernet cable...
Playing on WiFi will definitely put you at a disadvantage.

Even if you have god-tier WiFi the connection can easily become unstable if someone else is using the same wifi.

Happen typically on 2.4GHz

That's VERY false, I'm playing on my home network, approximately 3 ping in most CSGO (FaceIt and Valve) servers located in Germany, France and Sweden. Nor do I lag, while using WiFi, with others connected.

Then I'll address this, in the sense that Wifi, being a packet radio setup isn't a constant connection.

You can suffer from fadeout, being low signal, or even saturation from the signal being too strong.

Depending on the games reaction to losing packets, this makes all the difference, hence why every time that someone mentions that "It works on other games though" line, I point out that it's not the same.

The facts are that wifi is prone to interference, and problems with throughput due to the signal. It's not reliable. The first thing ANY ISP says to check is that your wifi is 'fine'.

If the game itself can't handle dropping packets, then you'll have connection issues, where something that is capable, doesn't.

Seriously though, wifi isn't as grand as you think. If you have a lot of routers around you on one channel, or even have people who are running high interference appliances, (such as welders, or even an old fridge having trouble), you'll be prone to losing connection, or facing issues with the apps/games you are running.

lol bro, you don't need to be a smart person to realise that something that's not directly connected to something is gonna experience issues.

you linked a screenshot of CSGO yet you don't know that being wired is better. it's like a wireless mouse, it's generally less responsive and reliable than a wired mouse.
