Soul Crushing Lag

So I know lag has been an issue for quite a while now, but this is getting crazy. Last night on Lamia, I was freezing up for 5 seconds at a time. Trying to do Titan Extreme or Turn 5 was impossible. Seemed to be only me so I logged off to check my connection speed and log on to Guilds Wars 2 to compare. So my speeds were fine ... GW2 ran flawlessly ... I am the first one to question the old lag excuse from bad players, but this was horrid. Is the upcoming downtown atempting to fix this or what ? It can't just be me ....

And I saw the post form last month in the currently addressing section. This is just recent for me, so something changed and not for the better.
