high ping on some servers only

[Anywhere]

I usually have a ping of around 40 but some games I get a ping of 130 and higher while everyone else has a normal ping. The problem can't be my selected regions as I have only EU selected and it can't be my internet connection either because I usually have a ping of 40. Does anybody know where the problem could be?

In your selected region.

Each region has multiple Psyonix servers in it (far as I know). Each in a different physical location (far as I know). If there's a failure somewhere on the Internet, between you and the Psyonix server hosting your match? There ya go. Whenever your connection passes through that point with the failure, you'll have problems. Other players will have different connection paths, therefore they'll (usually) miss the area with the failure. If your next match connects to a different server, and your connection misses the failed point, the game will suddenly play fine.

The Internet has THREE parts. Your end, their end, and the MIDDLE. Don't ignore the middle.

Good to know. Thanks.

Same here. A few month ago we had exactly the same problem. Mostly users from "Deutsche Telekom" were affected.

I just started calling them "Douche Telekom"..........

I do not disagree with you, but this hardly provides any answer other than "there's a problem somewhere". My friend has this problem too and there's little to no real clue about this. Example: We play on Server A, both my friend and I have around 20-40 ping. The next game my ping is around the same, but his is around 120 throughout the whole game. The following game is the same as the first example and so on etc. We both have very good fiber connections and there's not a single problem when he's playing other games.

That could be the routing for the location where that particular server is hosted. This is either your friend's ISP that goes for unnecessary loops on that particular host or that host has an issue with the way your friend's ISP works and makes it do longer loops.

At this moment (unless it has been fixed by now) people in south america are having ISP routing issues for any servers in that region. From what I read (could be incorrect info), it looks like the south america servers are routing players of SA to US and back to SA, creating a longer and unnecessary route and a considerable ping increase.

When your friend has that increased latency, take note of what server you are playing. You can see what is the server and make some tests:

Jump to the "Just a quick how to get a server ip and how to test".
Not sure how relevant the rest of the post is at this time as it's 2 years old but it has more in depth information that might be of interest to you.
