Yes, the routing is not at SE's servers, but SE were the ones that decided to put only a few concentrated servers in a handful of countries. I do not experience this poor quality of connection with any other online game I play.

The lag continues as server populations swell. Two weeks of unbearable coil fails have rendered attempting coil a downright waste of time. SE, this is your game, I'm a paying customer, please look into this issue soon. Otherwise, there's no point in paying for a game I can't even play due to such a ridiculous reason like lag.
