Virginia servers not available and input lag

Yes, I live in southern WV and have played on Virginia 1 and 2 since April of 2019 when I first started playing apex with 21-40ms range ping on average and then all of a sudden, 3 days ago, Virginia 1 shows 800+ ping and 50% + packet loss, and Virginia 2 was negative 1 ping, not even letting me use that server. Now, both servers have had a negative 1 ping and will not allow me to play on either one as of at least 2 days straight , it also usually shows that Iowa GCE-1 through 4 always has better ping but in game latency is always higher than new york, virginia, ECT. (Obviously because I am closer to those locations). You're not alone here man. It's a problem on their end and it's extremely frustrating being forced into specific servers that give other players a major advantage, so it seems anyways. I have great 1 GB internet, only my ps4 pro is connected directly to the router as it is also the only unit that uses my home internet , I also never lag or bog way down in speeds so it cannot be my end. EA representative told another customer that they know of the problem and are currently working on it. This really prevented me from even thinking about spending much money on this event, but not everyone is having this experience clearly.
