✅ No packet loss → good sign
❌ High ping starts early at Vodafone’s node (#2)
❌ Your traffic is routed from Germany → France → USA, even though you're in Germany, and EA has European servers
@EAHelp May i know why my connection is being routed to USA even though i live in Germany and we have servers near by, my connection ping is always 60+ and most of the time in the 100s which makes the game unplayable.
Hop 7:
Timeout — not uncommon. This hop blocks ICMP responses (ping), not necessarily an issue.
🇫🇷 Hop 8–9 (Zayo Paris):
Latency stays high: 120–260 ms
Clearly something inefficient here
🇩🇪 Hops 3–6 (Aorta/Zayo in Frankfurt):
Latency fluctuates but is mostly acceptable (24–44 ms)
One hop jumps to 134 ms (Hop 6) — start of international handoff
🏠 Hop 1:
<1 ms – Your router (https://t.co/FRlmgUCceT) is lightning fast ✅
🌐 Hop 2:
81.210.178.122 (Vodafone IP)
Latency spike: 155–198 ms ⚠️
This is your first ISP node, and it's already showing instability.
