In JHB I have a 40mb up/down fibre line and I sit at a very consistent 160+ so no real improvement. Doors dont hold people or bullets out. Hit reg errors are dependent on the delay so we get so many more. You cannot heal through the 2nd ring as the delay on being picked up and starting the heal means you havent got enough time to get the syringe off. The delay after landing means any hotdrop leaves you a second late to get out of the landing animation as you watch everyone loot around you. Way too many reasons why a server-sided game like this shouldnt be hoarding servers to specific countries.
And lets not comment on the toxicity towards having a teammate with high ping. I consistently say im from SA and have my team disconnect with a *rip in chat

The petition is not working, is there something we can do?

anyone have a Youtube channel with a good user base who can reach out to EA/Respawn?

Seriously. Its an issue that sometimes makes the game almost unplayable, and knowing the playerbase in South Africa, its making the game unplayable for lots of the playerbase. Please EA, consider a South African data center.

Hey guys, did a bit of research to match up Apex servers with tech companies. They are not using AWS they are using Google Compute Engine. Well that's my theory. I think we should talk to Google. My research led me here. https://cloud.google.com/about/locations#regions let's get another petition going.

I've been waiting since last year for SA servers. Such a nice game I'd love to still play it. But unplayable with the terrible lag in SA.
Moved over to COD Warzone for SA server support.

There are fifa servers in South Africa so no they do not need google servers. EA uses a combination of aws, azure, google servers for their games.
