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

@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.@DoYaSeeMeThat's a familiar story most have had that with their ISPs.
I understand that but ISPs have plenty of headroom for the extra traffic caused by Covid and they've said they have technical problems with something that interconnects networks as opposed to more users causing issues.Btw you don't need to explain the motorway traffic analogy to me.. xD
I don't think it's just servers (which are pretty bad anyway) but the way it's connecting to and also handling the matches as even lobby is bugging out before you even get into a game. It just generally looks and feels bloated and there are to many problems that most have even with top end hardware and good internet for it to be a troubleshooting on our end issue and i'm sure it's no simple fix but it's in a really bad state currently.Other games can fix or at least address these problems and even communicate that they're aware of and trying to improve it but all we get is a deafening silence.
- @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.
