Hey @SpringDesert both of your UO Traces are showing major issues. You have very high ping times on both of them and they also have very high Ping best/worst differences. Any difference of 100ms or greater is cause for concern and it will cause issues with your connection. On one of the UO Traces you also show packet loss of 1% on a number of hops, now 1% may not seem like much but it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Best thing I can suggest @SpringDesert is speaking with your ISP to see what they can recommend.

easo.ea.com is in Virginia, return a same IP address if you ping this url from Japan, Singapore, Taiwan. It is so far, the Ping value is impossible less than 100ms in theory.

I think the major issue is why deploying me to a far place, Servers in Asia, for example, Taiwan, are close and have low Ping. If I play this game at midnight, most of time I would be deployed to servers in Taiwan, this is working time or lunch time in America, not many peope are playing game, I think. In my experience, the number of people is in the first place to match in this game. I have looked at this forum, not only me have this issue. Apex legends is also a FPS game, this is a serious problem, hoping Apex legends team will pay more attention to this.

That's all. Thanks.
