Severe Network Issues on EU Servers (PS5/Xbox)/Unplayable Game since latest Map Update

The severe lag issues exist since the launch of Early Access in POE2. They are known to be truly problematic on European Servers. Even Jonathan talked about it in one of the official statement vidoes of GGG. He blamed the issues on DDoS Attacks which are very common though and goood or basically all servers have systems installed to protect them against DDos attacks.
He claimed the problem only exists on EU Servers and the issues have been resolved and the time has come for stress testing the servers.

To be fair since launch the network experience was the best POE2 network experience so far. Since the latest Endgame Update though the game is basically unplayable though. Only in the morning the game is playable.

Early Access costs money is not for free and GGG has a VERY EXPENSIVE and VERY MANDATORY microtransaction shop installed. A very succesfull one too I would guess. Every friend of mine who used to play this game invested a fair amount of money and stoped playing since the latest installement or the leauges before due to the ongoing issues the game still has especially on EU servers. To top it off GG got none other than Tencent backing them. So access to cashflow to get access to decent serers hardly can't possibly be the issue here right?

Or maybe we are simply too stoopid to set up our consoles and PCs to enjoy the game. Except in the early morning hours of the day ofcours. There the game runs quite well.

I know that the infrastructure in Germany is truly bad when it comes down to internet connections but not that bad that no other gaming studio in the world hasn't been able to solve it for good.
