Bf4 how to play with international friends

I have friends in europe and I live in australia, we are struggling to find a server that will suit us. We cant play in euro servers as I lag too much and he cant play in my Aussie servers as he lags too much.

Is their a way around this?

Try US servers. I get 170-250 on US servers, I live in SE asia

170-250 would constitute “lags too much”

Depends on what role you’re playing and what tolerance level you have for lag
