ping shows as higher on one character than another

ping plugin on my main shows 32-34ms, while my alt shows what my ping should be (21-23 ms). everything i've tested/checked in command prompt and resource monitor show my usual ping of 21-23, not sure what's going on with my main character! no vpn used. when i log into my main, it is at 21-23 for a brief moment, then it goes back up.

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the different ping values on the main and alternate characters, compare them with the command prompt and resource monitor results, and confirm whether the value briefly matches after login before increasing.
