Server-side "lag" not just EU

[FrankGrimes]

Well OK, lets assume you are right and there is an issue with the trafic somewhere along the tracert. What can be done about this? All else being equal, I have never had any lag in LOTRO, SWTOR, GW2, AION, Secret World, or Wow. I am fairly certain these companies have their NA servers located in various places around the US. So does that indicate it is an issue with the location SE has chosen? With their backbone provider? If so, it is VERY unlikely that this issue will ever go away since moving/changing either of those would be very costly.

Hello,

If i may ask when did you play SWTOR last? This is not a snarky question If you take a peak on their forums, you will see that they have been having HUGE issues with lag (exactly the same symptoms as here) for a couple of months now. I played SWTOR without trouble too BUT that was before the problem with routing. Nowadays i see hundreds of gamers of my country still on that game and they cannot play just like us here. The same is happening in Diablo3, world of warcraft, world of tanks or star craft to name a few. It appears to be a "far-west" stand out between ISPs ; The Route Providers such as Cogent-tata and the companies using the internet for their content such as the gaming companies, google-youtube, even facebook is affected here in france, although many won't notice a small delay in http browsing. Nobody wants to pay for the traffic so it gets completly overloaded and we get our butts done.
