Try Proton VPN, you just need an account (it has free servers) but if you feel like there's a packet loss, just keep changing server until you get one that works.

Just to update, as of this morning, my ping seems to have improved again and my latency to NA seems to have normalized.
This is the first time since the issue first occurred that my latency is that far down again.

Yesterday I had high ping during the day, about 11:30 AM BST. Happened during my mentor run in Paradigm's Breach, and clearly I wasn't the only one as many EU peeps along had the same issue. It was very difficult to do any fight when buttons didn't register at all. However, nearing completion, my ping stabilized and it was so for the entirety of the day until I went to sleep, so it seems they might be doing something?
It seems to be still happening during the night, however that's where more or less I'm about to go sleep. This one happened at 1:30 AM my time (which is about 12:30 AM BST). It's weird how it skyrocketed to 530 ms in 1 second lol.
I'm curious if sending those tracert reports at highest ping helps? It sure somehow did for me, though I'm not sure if it's because of the reports or if they're fixing the issue behind the scenes. I sent those reports every 30min - 1h.
Oops, guess I jinxed it

The EU players in my NA static are getting 800-1k ms pings. It is unplayable and we couldn't raid...
They used to have 160-250ms. Not great but fights got done. But not gonna play with how bad it suddenly got.
In US on a regional ISP and getting random horrific stutter because the San Jose NTT node keeps dropping packets.
Imagine being a paying customer but can't play the game unless you have vpn on.



Yes, the San Jose node has been an issue for months… it’s not as bad for me as it was, but it’s still bad. It’s more intermittent now, when it used to be constant. From the EU players posting tracerts, it looks like they’re also being routed through there.
Are you guys by chance EU players? Apparently this is happening to all EU players in the past few days. every one of us is lagging really hard. all my EU friends are lagging pretty badly.
Yes I am EU and I have been having really bad lag myself. Have to pay for a VPN to route my traffic properly now. Never had to do that since I started playing years ago, until now...
