You understand that your connection is only part of the story, that it is the others connecting to the server that also control this.
Too bad there is not a really easy way to see others pings so you can choose whether to enter the server.A Server Browser/Persistent Servers would fix this.
Its strange it started today, been playing since beta. and doesnt appear no matter what game i join its there

Just out of lack of any answers try a tracert.
In the run box type "CMD" and run as administrator. In the command box type "tracert google.com" without the quotes and let it run.
Are there any high pings or dropped packets seen?
If so, contact your ISP and tell them the hops and let them investigate. - @BackwoodsRaiderTN is time nudge. I’ve been told it’s player side, so maybe the update did something to your settings, or a new GPU driver? I get that occasionally as well. I understand what the concept is but personally I still think it’s server side and a dice issue to fix. What do I know tho? Anyways, there’s a longer thread on it all here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Im-having-really-high-time-nudge-and-i-dont-know-why/td-p/12108911/page/2
A high time nudge is usually caused by packet loss and/or a fluctuating ping time. Do you see any of these happening in the network graph? Playing on wifi can cause ping fluctuations, also known at network variations, or net var for short.
Network troubleshooting icons you might see while playing the game.
Try running a traceroute from your laptop.
- Download PingPlotter - https://www.pingplotter.com/
- Open Battlefield game and connect to a server
- Open Resource Monitor - press windows key then type resource monitor
- Go to Networking tab in resource monitor
- Sort by 'Send B/sec'
- Look for 'Compute.AmazonAWS.com address'
- Press ctrl+c to copy address from resource manager
- Press ctrl+p to paste address into notepad
- Copy IP address from notepad to PingPlotter
- Run traceroute to Battlefield server IP with PingPlotter
- Right click on top column bar to enable more option in PingPlotter trace log
Once you have a traceroute with PingPlotter, make a screenshot of it and send a copy to your Internet Service Provider and complain about their high ping route to the Battlefield servers hosted on Amazon AWS.
