Long term packet loss evaluation

I have been suspecting a huge packet loss on European EU-central-1 server when playing Apex Legends. 

Todey I made a test and installed ExitLag. When using ExitLag, it shows the actual packet loss on the european AWS which is 57% packet loss on outgoing packet in Finland using Telia fibre. ExitLag server was in Frankfurt and afaik EU-central-1 is on AWS / Frankfurt. Ping is 28ms and outgoing packet loss in inside the data center 57% which sounds totally insane.

Similar test on AWS / Ohio was 0% packet loss with ping of 135ms

Summa summarum - do not play Apex Legends if you are located in European union.

    Update, packet loss on ExitLag was temporary, but basically it is not possible to get a stable connection from Telia network to AWS Frankfurt from Finland (Sweden Stockholm too) without a major packet loss and negative effect on your gameplay. The main culprit may be Deutche Telecom which is the main actor in the region.
