apex legends packet loss 2-8%

Hi .

since im having virgin broadband apex legends is unplayable. massive packet loss. I read loads of topics on forum and only one person had it sorted by upgrading router to hub 4. Before anyone ask yes I switched firewall off and yes im using ethernet cable . tryed 3 of them . same issues on ps4 and ps5. I will put my logs here.

contacted virigin media over phone but been told that its not something that they can sort cuz its not in their troubleshooting. asked for engineer to come been told to pay 25 pounds. guy who i was dealing with said his name was Nevil (didnt sound like nevil ;p) Can I have it sorted please. 

when I do traceroute with apex server ip takes ages. I tryed to sort it out with ea games advisor but they are saying its internet provider fault.

    Check if the packet loss exists in the connection to the local VM Data Centre.

    https://www.samknows.com/realspeed/

    Once the test begins click on: Run full test to see Packet Loss / Latency / Jitter / Upstream

    Do share the full test results.

    In the first test was there another device doing a download or TV catch up on your Hub ?

    Both tests show zero packet loss, the packet loss you see in the game is outside your VM connection.

      So why only Virgin media users have issues with apex ? It’s clearly vm fault . 
      Just put Apex packet loss in search and you will find loads of ppl having issues . Only one person had it sorted by getting modem upgraded.

      test was done on same Device no tv at home just broadband. 
      my neighbour got sky no packet loss . Game works smooth .

        I’m not really playing any other games . 
        translation name of server . Ping and packet loss . Should be 0. I’ve tryed 2 different consoles . I tryed with phone as hotspot and it was 0 . sometimes packet loss are even 8
