Community ManagerHey @jumbalia82,
Have you had the chance to try setting a different DNS on your PS4 to see if that helps at all? I've seen cases in the past where using a different DNS can help with issues like this. To change the DNS on your console following the steps below:
1. Go to the Settings on your PS4 and select Network
2. Select Set Up Internet Connection
3. Choose WiFi or LAN Cable depending on what type of connection you're using
4. Select IP Address Settings (automatic)
5. Select DHCP Host Name (Do Not Use)
6. Choose DNS Settings (Manual)
7. Enter 8.8.8.8 as the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 as the Secondary DNS. This is the public Google DNS, but if there's a different DNS you would rather use instead that's OK as well.
8. Select MTU Settings (Automatic)
9. Choose Proxy Server (Do Not Use)
10. Select Test Internet Connection
Let me know how this goes once you've had the chance to give it a shot. Thank you!

Yes I change my dns servers and IP address every single day multiple times a day, between google and cloud flare, like I said, not a problem on my end as several people aren't able to use the virginia servers as well. I worked in tech support for almost 2 years so I am very aware of the basics of configuring combinations of different IP and DNS servers. Completely way off base with your answer, a Domain Name Server will never exclude you from accessing a specific server when all other servers using the exact same DNS and IP work perfectly fine. It is literally a translator of computer language.
Where did the Virginia 1 and 2 servers go on xbox?

Thanks for the info, everyone. I'll pass this along to the team for a look.

Any word on this? Still seeing VA servers at -1, forcing me into SC servers with double latency. No bueno...
