Connectivity Issues UT

Every single UT game I go into, the opponent selection ping shows 10-20 ping, 5 bars. An average ping for someone like myself who had >250mbps internet. Once I’m in game, the ping goes up to 100+. It’s not just one game, it’s every game and it shows the same figures every time. I’m not willing going to go into a game with a bad ping because you’re just expected to make mistakes. I’m online during peak times so it’s not like I’m being matched up with someone in Asia or America, I’m based in the UK so I should be matched with people in my country where the connection is better. I’ve turned off cross-play to try and help but it doesn’t seem to work. EA, please fix this. The game is not enjoyable when you’re lagging all over the place.
