High Ping only in BF1

Ever since the latest patch that was released (July update) which released the new map Prise De Tahure i have been getting constant 120 + pings in full or partially full local servers (Aus).

I have not made any recent changes to my pc other than installing the update. I have followed the basic troubleshooting steps as well as resetting the  firewall, restored pc to earlier date, repaired bf1, disabled  origin in-game services, changed Ethernet cable, changed the port its plugged in on the modem, reset the modem, contacted internet provider who then told me it was a EA problem (no surprises there), turned off all other services ( minus essential ones), turned off modem wifi, prayed to the battlefield gods and waited for a day,  and reinstalled bf1 to no avail.

Funny thing though, both BF3 and BF4 experience no connectivity/ ping issues even though the servers are based in Australia. And on the BF1 cte, servers that are not in my region have lower pings than that of the ones in BF1.
