Physical game servers are probably all located in the U.S., although I've seen a lot of connections to Amazon and Google Rent-a-Servers.

Looking at EA servers now going up and down like a jojo I would guess the login servers trying to give you a connectivity istead of just a loading screen.

I think EA is having a bit of a problem with server stability in their amazon clusters as we speak, just hope we will get an official note on the matter as its hard to impossible to play atm. Can get some games, some freeze and all kinds of side effects.
