I play GA & HvV on Xbox Australian region with ping site time around 23ms and 50mb/s cable and never have lag problems. Other game modes are not accessible unless I use a different ping site such as US Oregon @190ms or US Virginia @ 243ms.If there is lag via these sites, it is barely noticeable. Anything over these, lag makes the game unplayable. @chuntery I would expect the examples in you post would be also unplayable.
When you are playing, is there a message on the top right of screen such as a small bar graph highlighting "X" number of bars and stating "slow internet connection may effect gameplay"?
Anything under 3 bars & lag/dropouts would be a problem.
@CrimsonLeader88- If it was a game bug then I would have the same problem. I think the original bug was when the selected ping site in options would not be maintained. That was fixed and the "Default" ping added.
What ping site are you using and what region are you & have you tried other ping sites (taking account of time zones)?
@ggibb65 Your right, I remember now about the ping site. Sorry, I don't keep the best track. I use the europe ping site and I'm in the UK, I haven't tried other ping sites due to them usually looking worse. I'm never usually below three bars but there's still moments where I'm stuck standing still.
@chuntery - I'm with you - It's tough being an average player so when we do well and have one of those good games, you feel great but when you have the opposite you can only laugh - Read my posts on this link - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Community-Calendar-December/m-p/7277889/highlight/true#M7903 - they really tell you how good a player I am.
I forgot to mention, there are people playing with modded controllers that take some of the skill out of the game and don't forget the hackers that appear every now & again.
Also, I too get the occasional dropout but usually on heavy traffic times (Sunday afternoon in Aust mostly). Guess all the kids are getting their game time.

Re: slow internet & lag - I have seen & replied to many posts on this forum referring to problems on the UK ping site. Maybe heavy traffic at certain times could be a cause!! It's hard to find an answer due to varied platforms and a lot of different PC setups. Everyone tends to blame the EA servers (they might be right) but if they were at fault, wouldn't everyone have the same problem, not just a few in particular regions? I spent a lot of time on researching this problem and still no permanent fix comes to light. Sometimes even though all looks right, a hard reset of your console or router fixes the problem. I am still looking for an answer.
