Clear input lag/delay on EA FC only, with video

Hi - I've been having issues with gameplay for several months and it seems to be getting worse over time. I play EA FC 24 on Xbox Series X, connected via ethernet directly to modem. My EA connection score is 93/100.

I've noticed that when ONLY playing EA FC 24, I have a noticeable input delay or lag that greatly impacts my ability to play online. This issue doesn't happen on other games. I've made a video attempting to demonstrate the input lag/delay that I'm experiencing in game. The best way to show this was to move around in the game in EA FC using the D pad, and then doing the same in the Xbox Menu and in another game (Warzone). The video is linked below and I've attached screenshots of my EA connection score and recent match history.

In the video, I am pressing Left five times on the D-pad and then Right five times on the D-pad. You can clearly see a delay and even some input misses on EA FC 24. The input is smooth in the Xbox menu and Warzone. In a match, the issue translates to slow turns, late passes, late tackles, etc. The issue used to be sporadic but lately it has been every game, every day. How can this issue be resolved?

    @NobbyS7 I am not that familiar with it. I know they used to use that as a test not sure if they still do as I’ve been using the tests in game on more recent year. Does it ping an actual game server I don’t think so. Here are some links maybe they will help maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

    Just a quick update. Managed to get an AT&T tech out. He supposedly found an issue with slight signal loss, but it was repaired quickly and the issue is still happening.

    The last AT&T support person I spoke to suggested I try to use a router with a passthrough setup from the modem. I tried that, and I had a couple of amazing, relatively lag-free games. Then, I started it to feel the lag slowly come back until it was consistent every game again. I don't understand what is going on. 

    I did also try my hotspot for a couple of games but I get very high ping (orange or red). Those couple of games also felt better, but hard to tell without testing further and since I couldn't find any green ping games.
