So how about that lag?

I haven't had a single issue with anything lag wise, mind you I haven't ran the newest of new content, but ST, fates, general walking around smelling flowers has been fine..

Its the internet provider not the Game.

Even this isn't an entirely true statement. The amount of factors that could cause lag are many. ISP throttling, CDN throttling, poor netcode, equipment specs, etc. The point is, there has been 0 proof that this is on SE's end. And when asked, nobody can provide any besides "well it lags and other games don't". Which isn't proof. Be accurate when speaking, or you run the risk of creating a misconception/fallacy.

Thought I was being accurate stating its not the game?

Far as I know, many people use dish, Comcast, at&t uverse, or possibly even some obscure company that is located in that specific location only kind of thing. All I am saying is that I find it so damn funny that people blame a game for lag when other people playing the game have no issues. Thus it isn't the game.

I agree that it is isn't the "game", I'm saying it goes both ways, as far as explaining what the issue is. You do not want to break it down into Game vs. ISP, because those are not the only 2 factors. In reality, many ISP's are actually not the root cause, but the backbone CDN's like Level3. In my case, Verizon is actually the issue, because they own their own CDN, alter.net.
