Hi @EA_Aljo @sanket_360, I'm so sorry for replying late. I solved the problem. But first of all, I think the score is 85, which is quite good for my country and the ISP average. As for the solution, I work in IT, so based on my experiences, I made a few interventions in the modem interface. When I did my general inspections, I noticed that I was constantly experiencing disconnections in the connection due to the IPv6 firewall protocols being turned on. I started experiencing this problem after I renewed my modem. Since no device was using the IPv6 firewall, I turned it off and the problem was completely resolved. If you have experienced this problem, you can easily suggest this solution. Just turning off the IPv6 connection type will completely solve the problem.Thank you all for your support. Thank you, EA team.

Really great if disabling IPv6 helped for you. Can you please help others by adding few more details?
1. What inspections you carried out to find out disconnects happening because of IPv6?
2. What steps one should follow to disable IPv6 in router settings?
3. After IPv6 disablement, how long you are playing the game without disconnects?
@EA_Aljo
Which is recommended for FIFA/FC game for console (PS5)? IPv4 or IPv6?
If this is something necessary for FIFA/FC game then can you please add this info in EA help's connection troubleshooting guide?

We don't necessarily recommend one over the other. However, having a mismatched IPv with your opponent can cause issues. While IPv6 is more secure, you'll most likely see better performance with IPv4. Not in the way of speed, but it can help avoid issues in regards to connecting to other players.
Edit: IPv settings can be changed on your console's settings. Please perform a web search for those instructions.
