I have had this issue appear before and it resolved but now it's back. My ping generally sits around 220ms but this week has randomly been jumping above 500ms before maxxing out at 999+ and I am kicked from the game.
I have flushed DNS, power cycled all equipment etc and done every possible local troubleshooting issue. This issue is not related to my home hardware nor my ISP. No other traffic is impacted in anyway. Nobody on the local network is doing anything traffic wise that could possibly impact ESO.
I have been trying to troubleshoot this via a support ticket but found out this morning that my PING issue ticket has been inexplicably merged with a GPU driver crash issue and closed as a duplicate. I cannot reply or update the PING ticket.
This is Resource Monitor showing the latency for the ESO64.exe file. I have snipped the in game latency and overlayed it in this image.
I have also performed a PathPing to 198.20.200.1 for game connection/disconnect issues as per the KB. This clearly shows issues.
Pathping has had the first few entries identifiable information edited as I do not want my IP attacked:
