This server lag on PS4 is completely ridiculous. I can't even land without lagging out. The dropship will teleport from gauntlet to over bunker,then I can't hit a shot due to enemy players teleporting while still shooting me, not to mention a/v desync. I don't know what else to do. I bought the battle pass, but can't level up. I've talked to my ISP, Sony, and EA. They're all equally unaware of the issue nor do they see any issues on their end. What to do?

What is your system setup? Like full on detail.
Wired (If Yes) Type of ethernet cable used - Cat5, Cat6, Cat6e? Have you tried changing the cables? Can you check the PS4 consoles ethernet plug for damage, like the plug on the system not the cable itself.
Wireless?
I'm not sure who games on wireless and doesn't expect some networking issues.
Modem
Is it working for the speeds you're pyaing for?
Router
Checked to make sure your router's software is not setup incorrectly, it happens alot. Firewall, self healing etc.
You tried moving your console to a DMZ? Give your console a static IP, and move that static IP to a DMZ might sovle router issues.
ISP
What speeds are max from your ISP that you pay for. 100 Mbps, 200 mbps? WHat should you expect on the best day.
I'm only asking these details as i just fix these type of issues myself. This is what I did.
Moved Apex Legends from my Xbox One internal HDD to a Samsung 128GB Evo flashdrive
I gave my console a static IP from the dashboard and move that IP from my routers software to a DMZ (just think of this like moving this IP to a place in the router that the firewall doesn't mess with).
Changed the consoles ethernet cable to a new one.
Changed the DNS to Googles 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4
In the end I think it was just the ethernet cable that was bad. As I now use the old one on my PC and it cuts out just like the console did, but the other things help in the long run.
