Lag, connection/routing

Hello, I'm having problems playing Apex Legends. Since I have done everything possible to rule out a problem on my part, I have started to keep an eye on the connection. I noticed a few things her...

So instead of making something better, you just made it worse. It's a disgrace!
 
I chose "Frankfurt 1" at the beginning and where do you put me? London, where I didn't log in!
 
The ping spike is, let's just say, AMAZING. It goes over 100ms! IT'S UNPLAYABLE
 
I'm losing every single game because of lag and delay issues, are you crazy?
 
Is your whole company full of racists or why am I being trolled all the time?
 
Why don't you give me a decent connection so I can be good and have some fun?
 
I could have 15ms, sometimes I even have that low ping, but 95% of the time I just have problems, which is because of your garbage routing!!!!
 
This is the only game with such issues, I play every other game with a decent connection.
 
Thanks for this garbage experience overall, I will remember that.


Records of my last game

1. the whole game:


2. the first two minutes:


I chose Frankfurt 1 and the routing goes Frankfurt -> Amsterdam -> London and the Ping spikes are just insane:

Hop 7. with a peak of 96,1 ms
Hop 8. with a peak of 129,1 ms
Hop 9. with a peak of 82 ms
Hop 10. with a peak of 99,2 ms
Hop 13. WITH A PEAK OF 292,3 ms


But ofc I am just a overall bad player and have boomer skill issues.

    I was able to improve the situation somewhat. The specific type of DNS connection does indeed make a difference, and the routing is therefore chosen differently. DoT caused massive problems for me.
    Even if it is no longer completely unplayable, it is still far from good, let alone perfect.

    I noticed something and have a question about it. On the start screen I see 15-18ms, as shown in the photo:

    However, in the lobby when I press ESC I see over 170ms. How does the difference come about?
