Yearly Graph, that's the reason for the ping increase, might just leave.
Yearly graph ping increase is irrelevant.

Every CMTS increased at the same time because they moved the server doing the pings to Germany.

Yeah, that's my suspicion. Hub-and-spoke is still one of the most economical options, even if the spokes sometimes go the wrong way. Likely the packet loss was a link failure or maintenance and traffic automatically re-routed to a lower latency, but perhaps lower capacity path.

BT has been doing maintenance lately too which has been causing similar effects (though in their case ping goes up, not down, because they're already using the quickest path by default):
