Anyone Else Getting Ping Spikes?
Like the game will run fine but then ping runs up to the thousands & gets laggy for a bit?

@Lord_Scorpion34 It's the servers, man. They sometimes change location by going through the phase runner :P
Jokes aside, that's a connection issue. May be some routing changes occurring right when you see the spikes.

@DoYaSeeMe Idk. Jus know it's been happening past few days in at least half of my games & it's annoying. But when aren't servers being annoying lol.
@Lord_Scorpion34Well, ping is about network mostly. Blaming the servers for ping variation is like blaming someone you talk to over the phone for the noisy interferences and interruptions you sometimes get during that conversation.
- @DoYaSeeMe Not if you're on the phone to your provider... ;D
- @apostolateofDOOM Neither Respawn nor EA do provide the internet network for us. The ISPs are almost always worthy of roasting. I've called mine so many times to just hear "everything's fine on our end, please try resetting your router" only to see their service team show up at the nearest pole a few minutes later. Also, most of the times technicians come to my place to check the setup, they always complain about certain modems and routers because of their high failure rate. I remember replacing like 3-4 modems over the course of a few months a few years back. I've seen many cables snapped by the weight of icicles or by friction with tree branches. I've posted some of the messy cable work that can be seen around my area.
Not saying that the servers are perfect, they clearly have their problems, but I'd say that less than 25% of the issues attributed to them are actually on their end.
- @DoYaSeeMe You're right. Spectrum isn't the best so it could be an issue with them. I want to switch to Google Fiber. But servers have been trash this season also.
