Virgin Media packet loss, uk area 15
In the last few days I have been experiencing lots of lag / rubber banding in Apex Legends on PC. In game the packet loss to every european ea server is 2% (often more):
Pinging the Apex Legends London server gives me this:
Ping statistics for 217.147.89.101: Packets: Sent = 200, Received = 198, Lost = 2 (1% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 17ms, Maximum = 30ms, Average = 19ms
and tracert gives me this:

I'm no expert but something is clearly not right.
My speeds are fine:
- I am connected to the router with a Cat 7 ethernet cable
- Specifically this one: UGREEN-Ethernet-Cable
- I have tried rebooting my router
- I have tried the following commands on my main PC:
netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns
- I have disconnected all other devices from the network
- I have made sure the cable connections are tight
- I have run full virus scans on all PCs connected to my network
- I have removed any other software that was using network bandwith whilst playing
- I have reinstalled apex legends
Is this something anyone else is experiencing on Virgin Media?
Is this something that the Apex team are aware of?
