Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

Getting back on the issue, it appears that things are starting to stabilise however there are times where it'll log in with 400-500ms ping showing in the network section of resource monitor where pings to the IP address listed show what would be considered normal which requires logging out and back in until the data in resource monitor and command prompt are identical.

still a 410ms ping with VPN turned off :/ (6AM BST)

Which is odd considering that I was getting around 140 at that time on Aether connected to an IP address that was giving 400 when pinged which is what I initially got on the first log in, but returning to the title screen and logging back in gave normal ping levels with the only difference when looking at the resource monitor at the time was the difference in ping at the character selection screen (the first log in the ping was at over 400 where the second attempt it was around 150) so there is a possibility that ping is being carried from the hub IP address to the server IP address.

However, that wouldn't explain the increase in ping in the traceroute the moment (or a hop or two after) it goes from the NTT nodes in the UK to the NTT nodes in the US unless getting normal ping is 100% RNG based at the moment.

Edit: It does appear that there's a lot of RNG at the moment as to if you'll get what would be considered normal ping or not as I just had to log out and back in on one character on Crystal 4+ times before the data from ping tests in command prompt and what I was actually getting matched up, so currently it is going to be a case of returning to the title screen and logging back in to get normal ping (going by the connection quality on the character selection screen doesn't help as I got a good once that ended up being 400+ ping).

Are you pinging the server directly? or using Resource Monitor? I've found resource monitor to be very unreliable
