High Ping only in BF1
Pretty much I only get high ping in BF1. I live in Australia, the servers are hosted in Sydney and normally I get 35ms to a Sydney server.
I have a fibre optic connection (100 down/40 up). I do no...

Same problem. I'm also with Optus
Yep - I'm with Optus (Ryde - Sydney area) and are also and experiencing the same problems after the new night map was added.
Prior to the last update my ping was a constant sub 20 as I live close to the exchange. However, since it I fluctuate between 150 - 250.
I ran test thinking it was my connection but, everything came back rock solid with up & downs as expected and ping under 10.
Surely if it was Optus test pinging servers would match the in-game pings or close to it yeah?
I don't think its a internet provider issue...My ping is usually around 20-40 but recently its skyrocketed to 140-160..the only servers that have a reasonable ping are the TDM servers with a ping of about 30...I joined a TDM server and went straight to the scoreboard to check on my ping in game...it was at 30...If it's a Internet provider issue the TDM servers shouldn't be at 30...
- I had a chat with EA help. The assistant informed me that TDM is on different server to conquest and operations modes. See below response from EA.
"From my understanding of how the game functions, Operations seems to operate on a separate system to Team Deathmatch or Conquest, even though they are hosted on dedicated servers like all other modes. Operations servers may be located farther away from you which could be contributing to your high ping in just that mode while others remain unaffected. This has been an issue of concern for the Studio for some time since the Update & they have been working with the internet providers of the region in an attempt to improve things for everyone. -Dan"
Can't be a coincidence that it's only affecting Optus customers@Agar1987Im optus too. This problem has been effecting me since prise de tahure patch. I rung them up and they said it had nothing to do with them (no surprises there) and for some reason contacting EA help has been impossible on phone as I am put on hold for 1.5 + hours even though they say someone would be with me in 16min's. Just watered the garden and had lunch and Im still on hold...
