Good morning fellas.
After patch ping has gone up massively while playing Overwatch on EU server. From the usual 30ms it’s gone up to 180ms and stays there as if i’d be playing on an Asian server. Did a troubleshoot to test my broadband and no faults were reported. Other online games stay at the usual 30ms and there’s no packet loss or high jitter interferance. Did a tracert here are the results:

Clear as a day that hop 5 is the problem. Did a reverse IP checkup and it is a Blizzard owned ISP. Hopefully Blizzard takes notice and resolves the issue swiftly.
p.s.
Im on Sky broadband located near Manchester.
