What a ridiculous request for all that information, why cant we have servers in the S. E. USA, why is eerything either way north, or another country? In these games Ping matters, here in Florida, my connection sucks almost everytime, and BTW, why dont you show ping on the scoreboard! PING MATTERS .
1GungHo here's how to enable scoreboard ping.

hey I've been reading your posts across the forum and I was wondering if you could please help me too. I took some screenshots and also ran ping plotter although idk if I grabbed the right server it was listed under bf6 in performance monitor but there were a few of those. The 1st screenshot has steam performance monitor as well. When I check scoreboard ping it fluctuates, when I'm not having lag issues it's at ~25ms or so then when I have an issue it'll shoot up to over 100ms. If I'm reading this all right I'm having connection issues and I should contact my ISP. Or is it time nudge due to my cpu usage maxxing out?

gabians it looks like the home router is having random ping spikes. Hop 1 is the home router and it's ping spiking up to 229ms.
This is causing all the downstream hops to ping spike as well.
There might be a device connected to the home router that's suddenly using a lot of upload or download bandwidth and briefly causing a ping spike. The device would have to be using a massive amount of bandwidth for that. So unless you're running high bandwidth file transfers on the local LAN network, I find this unlikely to be the cause.
The home router ping spike could also be caused by the router hardware simply glitching out and randomly ping spiking. Maybe the router is overheating or something?
The way the performance graph gets spikey on the right side has me worried the ping spike might be coming from the PC itself.
You can also run ping tests to the home router from other computer in the home to rule out the gaming PC being the issue. If all the computers are ping spiking then it's the home router causing it.
