Is it possible and how to change packet routing to AWS game servers or to Frankfurt in general?

Greetings readers.

In general, I play professionally in Fortnite, the game uses AWS servers (mainly in Frankfurt, Paris and London), I live in the suburbs of Lviv (Ukraine, close to Poland), I connect to the he.net backbone provider through my provider.

The problem is this: the packets should arrive at the Frankfurt servers with a delay of ~27 ms via the Warsaw - Katowice - Prague servers of my backbone provider.
In fact, the connection with a delay of ~33 ms passes through the Warsaw - Berlin - Amsterdam servers, as shown on the other side of the screen. That is, the point is - the shortest route goes through Katowice - Prague, the node is open, but for some reason it throws a bypass to the Amazon servers and some others that are in Frankfurt, although before the provider started acting weird, everything was fine .

The game is very ping dependent, especially because of such changes, I started to connect to other servers (in London and Paris, the lines to which, from Amsterdam, are very unstable), so for me it was a blow below the belt, which had a very negative effect on the gameplay .

Is it possible to fix packet routing? If yes, then how? If not, I will be glad of any information that will help the system. admins to solve this problem, since they allegedly have already tried everything (changed the backbone provider with routing through Kyiv for the second time (bypassing through the east with a ping of 50, after which they returned everything back) and now they refuse. (Although initially everything was fine, they promised do not change anything, apparently someone confused something and connected us to the same other backbone provider, after which 2 days later they returned everything back, however, with broken routing.)

The interesting thing is that for the first time when I encountered a problem, I fixed it> in the whole village< by connecting and disconnecting some expensive Mikrotik, which was sent to me by the provider's system administrators. In theory, this is not particularly possible, but it all happened exactly when I connected it, although an hour later I connected again directly and this leads to very strange thoughts, although the second time, when they sent me another, the cheapest Mikrotik "lite tower" router -- nothing changed. (Probably a coincidence)

It is noteworthy that such routing is not only with me, but in the whole village, so it's definitely a matter of some kind of routing priority, perhaps a routing table or something else. I would be very grateful for your help in solving the problem, thanks for your attention.

You cannot fix the routing. More truly so - you such infrastructure on money will not pull. It is necessary to order dedicated channels between certain hops, and this is very expensive)
