This could be because you're...

1) Being NAT'ed through an IP with many people.

When you say 1G connection. Expand more. For example, is this Google 1G async fiber or some other provider.

2) Could also mean one of your neighbors is hacking into your WiFi.

Try rotating/changing your password on a regular basis.

Keep in mind, there is no way to fix this problem. If one of your neighbors is running aircrack-ng, for example, changing your password won't help.

The only fix in this case is to setup some sort of packet filtering on your network to only allow connections to Epic servers from a static IP in your network, then assign a static IP to the machine(s) where you play Fortnite.
