Hi! I have problem that makes me struggling with both - game and my opponent. Therefore I don`t have any joy, only stress. Connection quality report says I have 0.05 packet loss, yellow colored bars....

Maybe you are not connecting to the closest server. This could be caused by the way your isp routes you. Taken from the help page.
EAS FC will always try to connect you to online matches on your best game data center. Although that’s often the nearest one, this isn't always the case.
Internet service providers (ISP) generally don’t send data from Point A to Point B directly. They route this data across locations, sometimes across the globe. This can be a physical networking infrastructure limitation of some ISPs or part of their business model. These decisions are ultimately handled by ISPs based on their unique needs and situations.
In some cases, your connection to a game data center is the best connection available at the moment, even if it’s further away. Your connection can be routed elsewhere if there are internet issues impacting the route that your network traffic would normally take, or if one of our game data centers is experiencing technical problems.
Sure, there are always problems on the other side, not ea`s, how could I forget? Do I have to bring appologies? Did you read my post though? I said I did a lot of tests and I don`t have packet losses.
- @DmytrykUKRR A score of 85 and all the warning signals going off suggests it’s your isp at fault. Why would it be eas fault if you have a poor test score?
Then why do I have excellent score on other sites I mentioned above?
There are a lot of variables you are comparing 3 or 4 different tests. Are they all done on the computer or is some on console? Are you testing other games or just servers? When you test ea fc it’s the game not just the server so you could be sending more data. If your test to New Jersey isn’t showing higher than your nearest server then that test doesn’t seem reliable.
I assume you see lag or delay with all the warnings and low test score right? If so I would say the ea test seems pretty reliable.
