Constant Server Lag/Time freezing (Not Internet Connection)

I really don't expect any EA official or anyone else to help me here, but here goes nothing.

Let me first say that I can run battlefront 2 very well on ultra, I have barely any noticeable fps lag, and the game ran perfectly fine on my PC on the first day, but for some reason I am recently getting this type of internet lag that is completely unexplained for me and has made the game unplayable. I get like 45 mb/s normally and every other multiplayer game I play is perfectly fine. I've repaired the game, i've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've changed server locations(I'm currently on ohio), i've tried turning the graphics down to minimum, I've checked all background programs and all I have is just discord and origin, but it always still persists no matter what I do... I'm beginning to think that refunding the game is the only option left.

This is what happens:
I start up battlefront, no problems.

I get to the title screen, no problems.

I click multiplayer and go into either blast or galactic assault, no problems

I get into the game, no problems

5 mins pass, I get these small wierd motion stops, it's not low fps, The fps is fine and I can look around and stuff, its just like TIME STOPPED, I wait like 2 seconds and it passes and everyone teleports around for a moment and the game continues.

10 mins pass, it gets progressively worse, the time stops are more frequent and longer, until i just quit the game altogether because I can't play it like that.

I've asked people in the ingame chat if they've had the same problem, and they say they are all fine.

Please for the love of god, make my 60$ not a waste.

My Specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_ldr.170209-0600)
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor             (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
RAM: 16gb

Directx Version: Directx11

Video Card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 8gb VRAM

I also have the latest stable recommended AMD video drivers.

    Are you sure it's network lag?
    I'm asking because I'm also experiencing lag, but in my case it strangely seems to be caused by the CPU. But it's not that my processor was to weak or anything, because the lag appears quite randomly and maps which are perfectly playable most of the time are sometimes a stuttery mess. (Bug report: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Random-CPU-lag/m-p/6441424)

    Have you already looked at the in-game fps counter? It also shows lag spikes caused by the CPU. You can enable it by pressing the ^ key, typing "perfoverlay.drawfps 1" and hitting enter.

    Also you can use "networkperfoverlay.enable 1" to monitor your network performance (didn't try this one in Battlefront 2 yet, but since it's the Frostbite Engine I guess it should work).

    Fixed the problem no thanks to the people here, apparently if you turn on "Share usage data" in the EA account settings, it will give you MASSIVE network lag, so turn it off.
