I can't really comment on frankfurt servers as I don't play them, but London has basically been the same for me recently.

Whilst playing apex my ping jumps from around 33 to around 250 depending on proximity to others players. For me personally this has rendered the game pretty much unplayable due to my low tolerance for any form of lag. >.<

Kinda sucks when I've never had these kinda problems in the considerable amount of time I've played apex, and I'm playing on a much higher connection speed than I was originally.

@MandatoryIDtag Your connection speed is not really relevant. 500 Mbit vs 100 Mbit don't matter if an app only needs let's say 10Mbit. Stability and routing are much more important. Also, the values given for connection speeds are only top limits (they are always advertised as "up to X value"), it will get choked down as any other connections when there's a congestion.

Also, there's something most people miss: the game is evolving, becoming more and more demanding performance wise. This affects clients much more than servers. I'm experiencing a lot more input lag and buffering delay than in the previous years. Unfortunately this can only be fixed by optimizing and upgrading the gaming rig
