Server selection doesn't work, it's not broken.

So... I'm being connected to an IP in California, despite the game set to connect to a server in Ohio. The Ohio server is 67ms. Guess what my ping to the Calif server is. It's not 67. It's much much ...

At the very moment of this reply, I am using my satellite internet to connect to the game. As I stated before, my ISP is not the issue because I play over the cell network of AT&T through StraightTalk using 3G.

Both my satellite and phone tether send me to the same IP address of 159.153.38.49. That is located in London England.

So... there's something wrong somewhere with something in the game or Origin that is sending me to the incorrect IP address.

I was at a friend's house recently and used a solid internet connection. I still connected to the same IP. However I had no lag, or if I did, it wasn't noticeable.

I should still not be connecting to that IP address. I already know my connection type is not superb and that there will be some lag, but I should not have lag at over 120ms, and definitely as high as 12kms.

    so today I got on again at home, and my default ping side (the data center) that is closest is US Virginia at 80ms. I hopped into a match, was lagging so bad I couldn't move, and when I died, I couldn't spawn back in. I had to leave because everyone was jumping around and it wouldn't stop.

    The game says the datacenter I have selected is in Virginia, but the game is connecting to a London England datacenter. I am having zero problems with all other games.

    So is some help going to be given, or do I just keep posting and be ignored?

    I did contact the IP carrier, and the ISP that has peering with them to get the route corrected.

    I hope it gets corrected, yet I fail to see how the route has any bearing on the game choosing the IP address in California when it does it regardless of the connection.

    Different connections mean different routes. Yet the destination stays the same.
