Need a server in Turkey / Ping Issues

Hello everyone. I've been playing Apex Legends since the third season and I want to talk about a problem. I live in Turkey and I'm having latency problems like many other Turkish player. The closest servers to our country are usually located in Germany. We connect to the servers in Frankfurt. With the best ISP in Turkey, we get 40ms ping on fiber connection. This is the value we get in the case of the best connection. Fiber infrastructure is not common in Turkey. Many players connect to the game via ADSL or VDSL connection, in which case the game becomes unbearable. My family has an ADSL connection at home and I get results between 100-150ms ping during the day. I get a value between 75-90ms ping in the best case at night. The company .... Games opened its dedicated servers in Turkey and we can comfortably play their games with 20ms-25ms ping. Is there any possibility for Apex Legends to open Istanbul located server? Many of my friends have the same problems as me. An Istanbul located server would be a good alternative for a part of European gamers too.

    I don't think we need a server in Turkey as a Turkish player. With an average ISP with an average tariff, I get 50 ping no matter what day/time is.

    As I mentioned in my post, you get that ping values probably because you have fiber internet. I don't believe you can get those value unless you have fiber internet. I don't share the same thoughts about your average ISP and tariff because fiber infrastructure isn't common in many parts of Turkey. The fact that you don't have ping issues, does not change the fact that many other players have. I'm adding the report presented by broadbandspeedchecker based on the tests between September 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021. I recommend that you must look at those speed statistics of Turkish users.

    ADSL users in Turkey can take up to 16 Mbps download speed. And ISP companies often reduce this even more on the pretext of insufficient infrastructure. Of course, the ping factor is not related to internet speed, but the thing I want to explain here is internet results here are so disgraceful that you only think individually and ignore the general. In a country with a population of 83 million, only 3.8 million people use fiber internet. This is a very low number. Let me share screenshots from my own game for you. This is an average ISP (Turk Telekom) and its average package (16down/1up adsl). I'm on wired connection. Wired or wireless, there is no device connected to my modem other than my computer. I will be waiting for your brilliant ideas to decrease my ping to 50s as your average one.
