Rubberbanding and Lag spikes despite stable connection

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me make sense of this.

Since 2 weeks I am experiencing lagspikes and rubberbanding all over, but I can't find the exact problem. I am using a fairly stable 4g connection, its not ideal for gaming, but the only thing available to me sadly. No problems in other games or applications. I am the only user of the 4g connection (4g rounter, vodafone)

My Setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen5700G
RAM: 32 gb DDR4 3200
GPU: Nvidia 3060

I have already done this:

  • Task Manager, CPU load is 25%
  • Checked for any downloads in the background
  •  CPU temp 50C, GPU 45C
  • drivers are up to date, windows 10 up to date
  • Fresh instal lthe game

I tried running a ping monitoring test in the background while gaming and expeciencing the issue, it showed no packetloss and no lagspikes.

https://pingpackettest.com/result/35a03fa2-d4b0-4ff2-87f6-b9f82d81da3f

Did a similar test on packetlosstest.com, showed same results.

Is 4g realy just so bad for gaming, or could there be another problem?

    Yes 4G is really that bad for gaming.  Playing competitive games on 4G is like trying to win a drag race on bald tires during a thunderstorm.  Despite any testing you've done there is random high latency, jitter, packet loss, NAT issues etc.  Your game packets are arriving by carrier pigeon.  EA servers and in particular BF6 have their netcode issues, NO DOUBT, but 4G isn't for online gaming - it's basically turn-based networking.
