Anyone else noticing increasing latency with certain prop firms?

Been with a couple of the bigger prop outfits for a while now, primarily trading futures and a bit of $ES_F and $NQ_F. Lately, I'm noticing an uptick in execution latency during critical market hours, especially around data releases. It's not my local setup; I've cross-referenced. Feels like their connectivity or back-end infrastructure is getting overloaded, or maybe they're just adding more hoops. Makes scalping incredibly frustrating when you're milliseconds off. Is this a common trend people are seeing, or am I just hitting an unlucky patch with my current firm's tech stack?
