Packetloss while playing bf6 with usb tethering

Can someone help me plss

I play battlefield 6 mostly and i don't have wifi

I use usb tethering

I have a 5g phone and a jio sim

I can't afford to get a wifi rn

The packet loss out for bf6 is just horrible like at 8% mostly

Latency around 90

Sometimes it gets fixed by resetting the internet or running an app in background but that doesn't last long

I'm a guy who gets annoyed over little stuffs

and I genuinely can't deal with those small icons for packetloss at the top left corner while playing

It just bugs me so much

And bf6 doesn't have any option to turn them off

    Hi, USB tethering connection can be less stable than fixed broadband. For online games, a wired Ethernet connection is usually recommended because it tends to give more consistent latency and lower packet loss.

    Since that's not an option right now, you could try switching between 5G and 4G/LTE, disabling battery or data-saving modes, and testing at different times of day in case network congestion is causing the packet loss. Unfortunately, there's not much else we can do to improve the stability of this connection type.
