    Thank you for this, myself and some in our FC are in Canada. Moving location would not fix the issues at all. Or do some of you think because if on American soil it would be insta fix, no more connection and lag issues? I just think they need better servers, that would be a great start.

    It's not even a server issue there bud. It's a routing/traffic issue. Montreal has a very crappy L3. To make matters worse, I want to say a majority of us here have to route through Chicago to get to Montreal. Guess what? Chicago has become just as terribad. So that's 2 very bad routing areas to get to a server that's located in an area where the majority of the consumer base DOESN'T EVEN LIVE.

    So, simple logic would dictate, locate the cost effective location that is in the best possible location for the majority of your players. This is the very reason they are now going to move the EU servers back across the pond, probably to Germany. Now, I am not saying "screw Canadians." I am simply pointing out that if they want to reduce complaints about bad traffic in Montreal/Chicago they would be better off moving the servers to a more centralized location. This would help many people including some Canadians (the ones who live in BC).

    My personal suggestion is that they place the servers in Dallas, Texas or if they must... Chicago.
