If a VPN doesn't fix anything that means that your ISP isn't able to give you a decent connection since the early nodes. I would start looking for a way to change your ISP.

That's entirely possible but I've never had a problem with them in 14 years of gaming. Squenix rep did a tracert to my public IP and said they have a problem at 4.34.69.66.

VPN or not, the problem is in the same place every trace:
