Stuttering/Lag Spikes all of a sudden

So, this has only started happening in the last few days and it’s on and off, but it’s stopping me from being able to jump into Comp.

I’ve played this game since release, I’ve never had a personal problem with my connection to overwatch, ping, lag spikes fps etc, always been stable.

The last few days however, my game is jumping about with lag spikes - delay in input seemingly - I’m not techie enough to know if some weird packet loss thing is going on. It’s never happened before, but my char is constantly jumping about and lagging.

It’s only Overwatch. Apex Legends is fine for example
