Hey there legends,
I have set up a new internet broadband connection. It is a fiber to node type of connection giving me 100mbps of speeds on wired connections. I had trouble playing Apex on the internet because i constantly get latency sign and packet loss sign in the game. The main game server select menu gives ping time of around ~85-100ms and 0% packet loss on Singapore servers. I played earlier on mobile hotspot internet from my smartphone which gave me 100-115ms ping time and 0% packet loss and also it didn't give me any connectivity signs or notable issues while playing. But the broadband makes the game unplayable, literally. There is a lot of stuttering and lags while shooting. I even forwarded the ports necessary, even tried DMZ all when using a static local ip. I am out of options and I would appreciate help from anyone here. I am attaching a UOTrace results pinged to Singapore 1 server IP address of Apex Legends (72.5.161.228). I got this ip from googling, so if i am wrong about that, i am sorry about that.
Please help me out here, how can mobile hotspot with higher ping can be giving a smoother experience rather than a 100 mbps connection. Even on a lower ping why i am getting those connectivity signs.

Hey, @TOC_Lucifer
Which platform are you playing the game on? Based off both UO Traces it looks like halfway down your ping really starts to spike at hop 8/9 on broadband and 15 in the mobile hotspot trace.

I'm on PC Windows 10 pro and as you have already noticed the ping spikes in both the connections. I can't figure out why even on the broadband there is so much packet loss and latency issues that it causes to stutter.

Do you know if you have Killer Control Center?

No, I checked and the killer control centre is not installed on my pc.
