As thoroughly documented and technically confirmed, the recent and repeatedly server crashes and "lost connection to BF4 game server" are NOT due to the server providers or the internet connection or setup of the end-users playing the game. It is due to do EA's own backend infrastructure!
And EA needs to take appropriate action to get this fixed asap, as we are daily bleeding players from the EA BF environment due to EA's inaction to rectify the problem.
Here a list of the recent server crashes that I personally have registered. Of course not online myself 24/7, so obviously even more are most probably happening. But this should give insights to how deplorable poor the EA BF4 Server situation is right now.
(Yes, I already raised multiple support tickets with EA HelpDesk on this. But nothing is so far done to fix the root cause of the problem. This despite we have paid good money to EA to rent these servers and players gets the bad experience every single time the server crashes.)

I welcome other server renters to chip in and add their own observed server crashes here below, so we can start to have some transparency on this apparent and widespread problem. I will then keep updating my own post here, as the crashes will keep happening until EA fixes the problem behind them.
I have been following your post daily CyberDyme and I’m absolutely beyond the point of being disappointed with Ea Sports and the rumors I hear on a daily that they’re deliberately causing these issues we face everyday as players and server owners. My online gaming history is much different then most as I just started playing online 8 months ago. Single player is all I ever played and I tried BF4 online and ever since bf4 is all I play. Most people have their friends they visit on a daily and talk to and I have my fellow comrades. Metro Hardcore is why I fell in love with this game and it will always be my “first love”. I’ve owned my server for roughly 6 months and I help run Hardcore Variations. Over the last month I non stop lose connection to the server, multiple times per day and it’s getting to the point I can’t even finish a game. I hear it’s because of world events that are taking place and they’re professional hackers. I also hear it’s other gamers we play with that crash these servers but the most disturbing rumor that keeps circling community is that we may be continue to be targeted by our own creator, that being EA Sports. They do have motive for one because of the flop release of 2042 and lack of interest I would imagine that drove down financials and caused a lot of issues, and probably due to shareholders demand to fix this flop. I wouldn’t put it past any big corporation to use its power to manipulate its customers to get what it needs and wants and that being all of us to move to 2042. I’ve emailed and tried to call and chat with numerous people that are associated with EA sport to try to express the concerns and issues we’re having and it’s impossible to get a response from anybody addressing the issues that we post here, twitter etc. They have even hijacked the opening credits of battlefield four by making you look at the advertisement for the new season of 2042 they continuously just keep trying to force it upon us. If EA sports isn’t behind us, then they need to start dialogue with us, server owners and players, and explain what they are going to do to fix this and combat these attacks. The lack of acknowledgment to these posts here and everywhere else makes them look guilty. EA sports and the little guy that reads this on the other side. You have a duty to represent your customers because without us you are nothing. I’m asking from man to man or man to woman whoever may be reading this to do the right thing and get these concerns in front of somebody who will least acknowledge them, so we know that we’re at least being heard. Every day I lose hope and respect for EA sports that I’ve always had since being a kid. You have a commitment to us and I respectively ask you to acknowledge our issues with the servers crashing and either put a team together to fix it, or admit that you were doing it and just shut them down for good
