Horrible Latency when connecting to Fortnite PC

I play fornite on PC. I have a brand new router and modem. My internet is 1.2GB connection and I am wired connection.

My cousin and I both did a traceroute test. My game is having packet loss like crazy were his is not and we both have comcast service. I have confirmed it is not a network issue on my end when it comes to my computer and router etc. Both of us work in IT and believe it is a bad hop in the connection to Epic game servers.

What should I do as the traceroute there are hops that won't ping as it's disabled so XFINITY has to troubleshoot it and I can't get a reliable technician or anwser from the ccompany.

Hello @Jerbear05. Thank you for posting to the Xfinity Community Forum to share your experience. My son loves this game and goes crazy when problems arise, so I understand how much of an inconvenience this could be for you. I wanted to ask if you are having issues (drops in connection, or speed issues) with other games besides Fortnite?

Very interested to hear more on this as I suspect I'm experiencing the same issue. I have not tested other games, but have had no other latency / packet loss issues with other online services.

@Mi2kep thank you so much for letting us know you are also having connection issues when playing Fortnite. I would definitely recommend doing a check to see if you run into issues with any other game when playing online. Also, are you using a PC with a hardwired connection or are you using a Wi-Fi connection to play?
