High ping in the evening on Ps4 and what can I do about it?

I wanted to mention in advance that I'm not very familiar with the technology.

Problem: In the evening on the Ps4 and partly also on other devices like my laptop there's a ping of 100-400ms. However, this only applies from usually 8:30 p.m. To 11:00 p.m. The times are sometimes different by - / + an hour. The only stupid thing is that it is exactly at this time that my Ps4 usually starts. At other times of the day, everything runs smoothly.

Internet: Will be the first at Vodafone and have a Fritzbox 6591 cable. The 5g from me runs very well and shows no weaknesses. The settings of the router are largely as recommended on the Internet and the Ps4 have also been set. I realize that my Ps4 can't connect to the 5G because it is too old for it.

(also use a Devolo box which is connected to my Ps4 via Lan)

The most likely conclusion would be the current congestion of the Internet. I would look forward to a friendly answer.

It would be nice if you could point out missing information about my question.

Is normal is due to the servers

Unfortunately, wired internet is a bit more sensitive to heavy loads, which explains your problem, especially in larger settlements.

That's exactly the time for Netflix and Co.

The pandemic-induced lack of alternatives such as going out and live TV sports etc. Only reinforces this.

Yes, everything that happens on the internet and on the computer has a negative influence on ping. If you turn off the virus, the ping is cut in half. Switching off the firewall also works cheaply. Vpn is bad for ping.

otherwise you can't do much on the ping

Who says that? The cable Internet is even more stable than the copper cables with DSL. But that has nothing to do with the load, rather the transmission rate.

Now what my problem is that other of my friends have no internet problems and live nearby
