Constant network issues ONLY when on this game
Since the day this game came out, I've been combatting non-stop networking issues and I'm at my wits end. I've troubleshot every single thing I can come up with, I've brought my ISP out to my house nearly 10 times; they've even brought out their lineman to ensure my drop isn't the issue - no dice.
Here's my details:
- EA ID: Rblhunter1
- Steam ID: 76561198046961236
- Platform: PC - Steam
- Which console generation do you have? (NA if on PC) NA
- What is your Gamertag/PSN ID? Turbo Granny
- Date/time issue occurred? Constantly - latest session ended at ~5:30PM CDT on 10/29/2025
- What type of issue do you have? Server connection issues, Lag/Latency, etc Lag, latency, packet loss, server disconnection / connection issues
Summarize your bug: Be as specific as you can- Network issues that are only happening when I am playing Battlefield 6. Game mode doesn't matter. I've never been disconnected while sitting in the lobby, I have been full-on disconnected while sitting in games. Every single game I experience at a minimum - packet loss, which leads to rubber-banding.
- In which mode and or map has this happened?
- All. I only play on official EA servers.
- ISP name: Cox communications
- Your Current Region: I am in central to the US.
Here's what I'm seeing:
While in any match, I'll see the in-game network monitor see my network transmissions drop to KB of speeds. While at the same time, I can run a simple ping test to Google (8.8.8.8) and see zero packet loss and very little latency.
Running a network speed test through https://speed.cloudflare.com to Kansas City, KS I am seeing:
- network speeds of 255Mbps down / 117Mbps up
- Average latency of ~28ms
- 0% packet loss.
Directly on my router, I can run a live throughput speed test between it and my ISP:
- Network speeds of 808Mbps down / 108Mbps up
- Average latency of ~34ms
- 0% packet loss
Lastly, I've seen EA attempt to claim DNS as an issue.
On my internal network DNS is set in the following order:
- 8.8.8.8 (Google primary)
- 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare primary)
- 8.8.4.4 (Google secondary)
- 1.0.0.1 (Cloudflare secondary)
My ISP isn't going to come out again. The issue is between me and EA and I need some help getting this fixed. Also, if someone could point me in the direction on how to read the jumbled-mess of "Network graphs" that can be enabled in game - I can likely provide information there as well.
