I just had an idea, i know a lot about computers but not networking but what if i get onto my isp and just ask them to route me around the problematic aws server? there must be more than one powering bf6 if other ppl can play fine. Can I not just have my traffic routed to a different aws server that EA uses?
Honestly, I doubt that would work. Even if your ISP were willing to try, they don’t have control once traffic leaves their own network. The problem seems to appear after the connection hops off your ISP’s edge and enters the wider internet, somewhere in the peering between AWS’s European edge and the backbone providers they use.
There’s no way for an ISP to “route around” that manually on a per-customer basis; those paths are automatically chosen based on BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) rules that prioritize efficiency and agreements between networks. In other words, your packets take the path the internet as a whole decides on, not one your ISP can hand-tune for you.
That’s why this issue needs to be addressed higher up the chain, through collaboration between EA and AWS to repair or reroute the broken link between them.
