I’m in Louisiana on Cox and seeing the same issue. I ran tracert/pathping to EA’s servers (159.153.71.17) and the route consistently stalls at a Cox aggregation node in Dallas: dalsbprj01-ae1.rd.dl.cox.net, IP 68.1.2.109, before handing off to Zayo transit. Pathping shows 100% loss at that hop, and while direct pings to it succeed, traffic going through it toward EA is unstable. When I connect through a VPN, Ultimate Team works without issue, which points to a Cox to Zayo peering problem on the route EA traffic is taking. This is regional. Friends on Cox in both Louisiana and Texas are affected, but my PS5 works fine on AT&T Fiber. EA support/network team, please escalate this with Cox/Zayo, because it’s clearly an ISP routing/peering issue rather than a console or account problem.
