Latency issues on South Africa servers

I am having latency issues on a local server running about 180ms to 300ms

If any one can assist me would be appreciated

Having the same problem in the evenings on the South African servers since league start.

Was manageable until yesterday when GGG seemed to have switched off 5 of the server nodes and now there are only 2 left which we can connect to:

5.188.120.75
and
5.188.120.56

before yesterday (which incidentally is exactly 1 month since league launch) we had 7 total, the others being:

5.188.120.74, 46.151.193.50, 5.188.120.101, 5.188.120.82 and 5.188.120.82.

This league is pretty popular so a lot more people are playing than normal at this point in the league and now we are being pushed to the Amsterdam EU realm in the evening as well as having laggy local servers.

What's weird is it changes if you zone out and back in to the same zone like some instances on that server are laggy and others are not. same with winmtr,
It will show that the server is fine but in game its different and vice versa.






Anyway, it would be nice if they could at least add in the other servers so we don't get put on Frankfurt and then a fix for our servers would be even better.
Yeah, having the same problem with Sao Paulo (BR) Server
Also experiencing issues. It's extremely frustrating to play.

I'm experiencing constant spikes and jittering feeling when playing.
Still experiencing very bad server performance on South African servers.

Not so much a latency issue, as seems that server tick rate rides all over the place.

This seems to happen most nights around this time, probably based on server load.
Still having this issue every night starting at 20:00 in poe 1 and 2
