Something wrong with madden/EA servers for online play

There’s almost certainly something wrong with Madden/EA’s servers for online play

I test my multiplayer connection prior to entering online games and I get 0% packet loss, way more than enough up/down and low latency. As soon as I jump into an online game I get lag and the messages that either me or my opponent is experiencing network issues.

So I test my multiplayer connection mid game and lo and behold I am getting the same stats except now anywhere from 2-22% packet loss, typically 2-4%. Which unfortunately is enough to ruin the experience, causing intermittent lag every 2-5 seconds.

Some extra information, I would say about 50% of my games I have no lag and connection is seamless for the whole game, this can last anywhere from one game to multiple days with multiple games without issue. But far too often the opposite occurs for multiple hours or days where nearly every game I am experiencing game breaking lag that has cost me countless games and enjoyment over the years.

There does not appear to be any sort of pattern, I have tried so many different methods of resetting/restarting my equipment and experimented with different settings. Countless calls and visits from my ISP

Can anyone provide any insight on why connection is so terrible? This dates back as far as madden 12 when I first started playing online. Across multiple houses, providers and setups. Keep in mind that I have had next to no issues with any other games

Unfortunately I am stuck with a WiFi connection, I just don’t understand how it can be so perfect half the games and so bad the rest of the time. I know wired is the most reliable but it simply isn’t an option for everyone, myself included

I have run out of ideas, has anyone else experienced anything similar?
