Re: Connection to EA online timed out. Your network bandwidth and/or network latency

Still the same issue.

I'm in Australia and I can play fine on American servers, but joining local Australian servers gives me this error 95% of the time.

3 months I've been having this issue, It's beyond a joke. Just when you think it's fixed, it stops working again. Past the point of swearing and breaking things, it's ridiculous..

Yeah I'm in Australia and having the exact same issue. Can't connect to 32 or 64 player servers but can to 24 player servers. Can connect fine to anything overseas. 

I've tried port forwarding, repairing, reinstalling, clearing the origin cache, 3 different internet connections.

I've determined that it is most definitely EA servers and they can't fix it because of the 7 times I've talked to the help desk they get me to do the crappy UO trace to US servers, not even OC. So this obviously gives me a ping of 250 and they play it off as my ISPs fault even though I've tried three different connections and can read the trace results myself, gets bad once telstra sends it overseas, but nooooo it can't possibly be on their end.

All I see in these forum posts is EA bots saying go check our web pages that tells you how to troubleshoot yourself or contact the help desk, but they don't even know what they're doing. EA doesn't care about anyone but themselves, if the vast population can still connect, whats a couple of  tens of thousands of people who can't going to matter.

Exact same problem as me buddy,done everything you said and nothing......

I wish EA would respond to any of these threads, they're completely ignoring the community outcry thats been going on since like April

This is exactly what I have been experiencing. 

I wanted to give the PC version a try alas I cant even play on the local services in OC. 

@MissAssyran

I've been dealing with this problem since June of 2017. I have yet to have gotten any Useful help in that whole time.

Hell, I'm even a pre-order with added premium... All of that money down the tubes. Re-installing BF4 just to see if I can even play SOMETHING from the BF series.

Sure as hell not getting BF 5.

FYI, I have a Netgear r7000 and I noticed that I didn't get the connection issue when I connected directly to my modem. I did some looking around in my router and noticed a setting called NAT filtering. The option was set to secure. I changed it to open and I am now able to connect to the servers without any issues.
