Internet working fine, traceroutes etc, High ping times in game

Hey there, recently I've started getting 300-400ms in game. The ping is solid, but extremely laggy. 

On the data center screen the ping times range from 50 - 200ms/ish, then when I load into the main menu the bottom right hand corner of the screen indicates 400ms. 

Please advise on how to fix. 

I am certain it's not my internet. 

Thanks in advance.

    Please find attached screenshot of speed test result. 

    I've tried the troubleshooting guide to no success. ☹️

    Hey @S1ngular1tea 

    At, first sight I don't see any real issues with your connection speeds.
    Latency and jitter are within the expected margins of a good connection.
    I also see some tests failed which could indicate your connection want too stable.

    For this reason, I think a VPN could be useful as I think this is more of a routing issue by your ISP than something on your or EA's side.

  • try manually selecting  server directly on the login screen (before the lobby main screen)

    i also get 20ms-300ms estimates but i get 20ms ingame

    it has happened sometimes that i get thrown into 130ms ping servers and i think it's because matchmaking didnt have enough players in that skill bracket so it took from across the atlantic ocean

    also restarting game seems to bring back normal ping, so try just restarting game also

    what platform are you on? im on pc and play with wired internet

    maybe try restarting router also hmm

  • Im playing on PC platform. 

    The problem persists the weird thing is other titles yield perfect latency. 

    Any other tips? :/

    I forgot to add that a VPN doesn't work either. Still ping remains the same, I've tried ExitLag and Express VPN.
