Re: EXTREME Packet loss with great ping and internet? Unplayable.

This is being put on the BF1 forum because it is the WORST in this game despite the fact that I have experienced this issue in every Battlefield game that I own (BF4, BF1, BFV). I have a connection download speed of 475mbs+ and an upload speed of 8-9mbps+ and a usual ping of 19. Despite this, regardless of the server that I join, I have a constant red packet loss icon that makes my brand new game and all others essentially unplayable. It is 2019 and the servers and net-code for battlefield games are no better than they were 5 years ago. Awesome. I am rather upset at the current state of affairs in EA's servers. No other network-based game or app on my PC has these issues and I have checked and restarted everything that I can. The issue is also not based on my PC itself as it is more than capable of running the game on max settings (I7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX1070 OC). Can ANYBODY at least assure me that I am not alone in this problem? Idek if I can receive a refund for my unplayable games. Any aid would be greatly appreciated.
Your ping may be good but any of the nodes between your router and the end server destination could have a bad ping variation. Try running a UO Trace as described here and look at each hope for a high ping variation: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/
