I've had some really serious issues with my internet lately.
Basically, it's lag spikes which I can't seem to find a solution for. I've been looking around Google for quite a while now.
The problem affects applications that depend on internet to run like online games , my skype conversations on which there is usually a brief pause and after a few seconds I can hear my friends again.
I'm sure the problem relies within my PC since my brother who plays on a laptop has no problem what so
ever.
If anyone has ever had this problem, heard of this problem or has found a solution, I'd like some help to solving this
It could be a malware that sends large amount of data every x hours or so.
Or it could be the ISP just ****ing with you. Your brother might not be using the same programs as you, he might not rely on internet while using the computer etc.

My brother plays the same game which I play (League of Legends)
Just to put me at ease, run a SMART test on your HDD. Whenever I see "Lag spikes" I instantly think failing HDD, it's happened to me in the past. Twice.
I ran some SMART tests with SeaTools from Seagate, since most of my programs are on my 1TB Seagate HDD and I have a 60GB OCZ Vertex Plus SSD for my OS. The 1TB HDD came up as Healthy.
I recently disabled Caching in my HDD and IPv6 in my networking. So far, no spikes have occurred.

It happens randomly during the day/night. Some nights, it doesn't happen, some nights it does. Some days it doesn't, some days it does.
