Routing issue with EU players

Morning,

Lately I've been experiencing abnormal amount of desyncing and lagging whenever there is over 40-50 players. This issue started happening around mid August. Firstly I thought it's actually my WiFi and not the actual server because I wasn't always getting high ms before, just time to time my ping was having this issue. However how the time passed I figured out that lagging was just not happening to me, instead to many different players.

Now, while playing with the lag I noticed that when I am AFK, or just walking around my ping was normal and didn't lag spike that much. However whenever there was a bit more players around me or when I started pearl spam (or typically whatever like opening shulkers) my ping was going from ~130ms to ~5000ms. I was really confused and pissed off and so I asked in guide chat about this issue. For my surprise I got told that many other EU players are experiencing the same issue, how they can't see their ping as well instead they see 3 red lines where ping is supposed to be displayed.

Now finally, yesterday (18/9/25) I ran Traceroute test while I was getting those lag spikes and while I was desyncing my traceroute showed completely normal ping, I was spamming pearls as a example and my ping was going from ~130ms to 4000-5000ms. I also got screenshots of me getting really high ms on the server but really small on discord (Yes, I am aware that my ping is going to be better in discord vc since I'm closer to it, however the difference is not comparable nor normal at all)

people from the U.K. have been experiencing on and off routing issues recently, one day a lot of us were consistently spiking to 400+ ping
 
Ok, I've done traceroute on 3 different occasions:

1. When there was 10 people online, no lag spikes nor desyncing at all

2. When there was 60 players online, lag spikes and many desyncing whenever i do something

3. When there was 60 players online, I spammed pearls which lead from my ping being really unstable ~130ms (which was going up to 400ms) to 5000ms and finally getting kicked

You're doing a traceroute to the website. Use play.lokamc.com.
