So this started a while ago back when I lived in an apartment complex, I simply chalked it up to I was getting interference from one of my neighbors wifi so I just used an ethernet cord. I moved to a new place out in the boonies with some roommates and I'm getting the same issue with the wifi here. I've tried putting my PC in different places, using different wireless hardware on my PC and I get the same results. None of the 4 other people who live in here have any issues with the wireless here, its just me.

Any suggestions on what might be causing it? My room doesn't permit me easy access to the router with a ethernet cord.
Most common issues with wireless routers are either interference (switching router channels usually help) and zeroconf.
First, try disabling/tuning down wireless zeroconf. It's a likely culprit since you're having periodic spikes.
I had turned wireless zeroconf to "Disabled" earlier and it didn't do anything. I messed around with the settings and apparently setting it to "Manual" has greatly improved the replies I get from pinging my router.

It still gets small spurts of increased latency, but its much much lower than it was previously and seems to be more random than regular spikes.
When I used wireless once upon a time I found it was due to background scans for networks, I used [url]http://www.martin-majowski.de/wlanoptimizer/[/url] and it cleared up the exact same issue you had where it would randomly spike up.
