Lagging after latest patch.

NY Verison FIOS user here. Same issue. Only started happening with the new hotfix that doubled the poetics cap. Using WTFast resolved the issue, but I don't want to keep having to pay extra just to play the game.

Raist, it has to do with FIOS, we've had this issue before. While those outages could have something to do with it, why would it happen right after a hotfix?

The same reason you hit a traffic jam when you're already late? Traffic ebbs and flows due to countless factors. The same goes for congestion and devices flaking out. Could be weather. Could be a major entertainment event (remember...we are no longer analogue).

Since you were able to demonstrate it appears to in fact be a problem in route, that very likely puts the ball in Verizon's court to find a way around the downed/overloaded segments.
