Network Jitter/Packet Loss occurring for the past week(or so)

I've been playing deadlock since about august of last year and have put 2,552 hours into the game, in that time I have had no consistent issues with connection, until about a week or so ago, where I've started to experience these huge spikes in jitter/packet loss that effectively freeze everything for 2-3 seconds before catching up. This is happening every single match without fail, though the frequency it occurs within each match itself doesn't seem consistent.

My network and jitter tests all seem fine and no other game I've played has had any issue so far, just deadlock, Unsure if any major changes were down to networking infrastructure in the past week or so that could attribute to this issue appearing?

I am based on EU servers, in the UK myself.

Below are 3 short clips from a single match (ID:45516626) that showcases what I've been experiencing in I think practically every match for the past week or so, needless to say its a pretty frustrating experience at times. I've noticed an uptick in complaints about these issues from people both on the forums and from friends who play recently, though that could be a bias in hoping its not just a me issue.

Any help would be much appreciated as the game is really hard to enjoy right now!
