AUS Servers being sent through US East instead.

Hey folks,

Was following on from a reddit thread here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EASportsFC/comments/1nsi3jk/ea_fc_26_fut_are_we_actually_playing_on_us/?share_id=DQlOJyM5--qxLjHR2BXvT&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

And had to confirm this myself as I have some absolutely terribly heavy feeling gameplay only sometimes.

A traceroute test showed that I was being connected to 52.86.148.111 which is a compute-1.amazonaws.com (US EAST) server and the actual ping was 161ms, even though in game it shows as 28 ping.

Is this an issue with the current Australian servers being overloaded that we are having our traffic routed through US East to help the load? or is this an actual bug?

Really difficult to play the game at all when connected to the US East server, I would love a more in depth explanation from someone with a bit more tech experience and knowledge.

    Got the same issue in western germany.
    Normally located to Frankfurt servers, but instead when playing FUT Rivals

    or even worse when playing with a lot of other players in CLUBS
    even more annoying because I am a competitive Clubs-player

    I get connected to US Servers, ping is around 250-264 all the time, only moving up- or downwards 1-2ms

    Here's some evidence:

    There is even a one time lag in the footage. That's not a thing, that was my first time.

    Connection is super slow but steady. Still not even a bit fun.

    Issue is since early access release (1-2 times in 10 Matches) and got even worse with the official release (1 out of 3 times). 

    It is really annoying.
