2500 ping every MP game PS4

Every time i start a multiplayer game, i get 2500 ping after maybe 10 seconds into the game. It freezes and the only thing i can do is quit to main menu. My ping and connection is fine with other games and there are multiple people reporting this issue, so i dont think its my end. I have tried everything from resetting my router and reinstalling the game and switching data centers (the best one is Amsterdam, it says i get a ping of 13 on the main menu) and also turning the PS4 off and waiting a couple hours to try it again. Nothing worked. This problem occurs every time i try to join a multiplayer game.

    Same exact problem here with the 2500+ ping and freezing at startup.  My actual ping is mid 30's.

    It happens in every multiplayer mode in the game.  I've not been able to play anything for two weeks now. 

    It hard freezes just a few seconds into the game, or it cannot load at all and bumps to main menu.

    Please acknowledge that you're addressing the issue.

    You can stop messing with your hardware. The TF2 and TF1 servers are DDOSed by hackers. There's nothing you can do. There are multiple threads here regarding this issue. EA/Respawn are allegedly working on the problem, but this has been going on for month/years.

    @DeadEcho82 To be fair, Titanfall 2 at least had a brief period of about a month where it worked fairly well until about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, if Respawn doesn't step it up and commit some actual resources to solving this we'll most likely not see any meaningful improvement. 1-2 technicians is just morally deflating. Unless they're absolut gods at their craft that simply won't be enough.

    @ICA_CourierMaybe. Half of the time you would drop out of matchmaking, but ok, some people did something... allegedly...

    But when I read here that EA support is telling players to follow their basic troubleshooting procedures, wasting your time, stressing your phone bill and even making your system less secure by turning off Windows Defender and stuff... when they clearly know what's going on... sorry, but that's just infuriating.

    @DeadEcho82 True enough; for all I know, their techs did nothing but the hacker/s wanted some vacation and just got back to it afterwards. Either way, you could play mp for about a month, meaning the matches were stable. Lobby issues were definitely a thing, sure, and it never got to the point where things worked as good as they used to, but you could at least play. I still agree that the whole situation is an infuriating mess, though, and from what I've read in the forum it's clear that the EA support are either oblivious to the issues or are being told to put the blame somewhere else. If thousands of individual players all around the world are experiencing the same issues and there's admittedly an ongoing ddos attack targeting game servers it's just insane for support to say 'oh, the problem must be on your end' in response. Clearly it's not.

    @Riiicaardoo Sued? Yes, probably. Shut down? No, but changed. Less money grubby chumps leading the business and more client friendly attitude, imo. I completely agree that selling broken games should be illegal, though. I also think that selling games that aren't finished yet should be made illegal, as well as pushing the bulk of the polishing onto fans and modders should be illegal. It's your product, I'm paying for it and expect it to work properly. If you can't provide a fully functioning product, don't sell it. Imagine if the car industry operated in the same fashion, selling semi-finished cars at full price, expecting buyers to fix the last bits themselves and, as a community, sort bugs and issues out themselves while at the same time providing the car manufacturer the information about what they did and how so they can improve their cars, and whenever the cars don't work properly the blame gets pushed off on the buyer. How crazy is that. Orwellianism as a business model.
