I have looked around quite a bit and still haven't found a solution to my problem.
I am having lag spike issues and I don't know what to do at this point.
It seems intermittent, in which it will be fine for 4 or 5 seconds and then pings can reach 45k. It isn't just in video games, it is the connection in general.
I have flushed the dns, renewed my IP, reinstalled my WLAN/LAN drivers, checked my computer's network for usage via netgear genie and monitored it.
I ran in cmd prompt ping google.com -t and found out that every 5 or 6 seconds I would spike up to 800ms in ping. I then ran ping 192.168.0.1 -t to find my ping to my router will jump to 70 ms after periods of 1 - 6 ms.
The problem began about two weeks ago, I didn't do any updates or install any odd programs that may have cause it, I have checked the rest of my drivers within the last 2 days and fixed any that needed updating.
I don't think the issue is performance bottleneck, I have an i7-4700MQ, GTX 765m, and an mSata with 16GB RAM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Due to the fact that it appears to be the internet connection and not your computer, I recommend having a chat with your ISP.
Depending on your internet type and/or location, there are many thing that could be affecting your internet quality.
For instance, in the routing to your house, there could be a switch that is causing packet loss, or that has too much traffic and is slowing down,
If you're on wireless internet your house could have a poor signal due to any number of reasons, which would kill your internet speeds
