I and a couple of friends played yesterday without any problems. Also the forums aren't being flooded with threads about this issue so I'll think it's safe to say that's it's not a general server upgrade gone wrong as it would then affect everybody. Besides the last server patch was Dec. 15.
What I think it could be:
- Your ISP having trouble with the traffic between you and the servers.
- A program or other users using your internet connection to a degree that is causing the issues
- Some program on your computer have updated itself or similar and is causing the issues
- You have been unlucky and the servers you have been playing on could use a restart / less people with high pings.
- A local American EA backend network problem
- A million other things
Now you don't seem interested in trying to fix the problem from your end so I wont try, but since that's what this forum is ment to do, to allow gamers to help other gamers, there's not much we can help you with in here. It's not a general forum where you can ask the developers about when issues will be fixed, for that there's the Battlelog forums.
