Are Frankufrt servers overpopulated?

Bro, Frankfurt is the closest server to my country,

both Frankfurt servers have higher ping

than another 2 different country dervers, which are double the distance away from my country than Frankfrut.

Are Frankfurt servers ran by potatoes or are there too many people playing on them and they get high ping because of that?

    I also noticed the huge lags in the last few days. Note: I always play on Frankfurt which is really close to me therefore I have only a ping of 20-30 at the evening, not in the afternoon!
    But I do wonder why the lags are getting worse now even tho the last few season were quite the same and normal at the same time.

    I also played with friends who are based in USA but I couldn't even play normal because the lags are so bad that everyone is teleporting and I was getting dowsn within secs even before I knew what happenend.

    @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

    @MandatoryIDtag You need to have a conversation with your new isp. One that involves "fix it or I'm switching back".
