If it’s server you would both be experiencing it. If you want ea to look at it they are going over connections and videos here.
If you want to really test it in game turn on the online input overlay. This will show you two controllers on screen. One is your local connection and one is the server. Count the seconds between button presses you see on screen. If there is delay on your side you would see say 4 seconds between the two controllers on screen.
If you want ea to go over your connection they are giving answers below.

RadioShaqs I went to the link you shared but didn’t see anything about EA “going over connections” (just folks pissed off and EA doing their usual “send us data and then we’ll go radio silent” routine). Indeed, as I read that thread I just got more frustrated that others are experiencing the same issues and that EA doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously. Would love to be proven wrong about that last, so…
EA, if you’re listening, please tell me how I can get a better gameplay experience. Just for the record, my XBOX is wired (by Ethernet cable) to my modem (which is more than new enough to handle my internet connection, which usually runs above 225 mbps download and 17 Mbps upload). My ping at the time of matchmaking is usually between 24ms and 28ms and so I expect a smooth, fun gameplay experience but am now routinely experiencing an infuriatingly sluggish one in Rivals/Champions matches (Rush not generally an issue). Not sure at this point why I would ever pay for FC 26 when it comes out but hope springs eternal that someone at EA will take the questions/concerns voiced here (and in the related thread referenced in this discussion) and provide answers/suggestions (instead of just empty requests for user data with no follow up).
