Severe lag spikes since 7.01

[Exterium]

Since yesterday's patch I've been experiencing huge lag spikes on Chaos EU, they seem worse in instanced content, everything stops and then the game tries to "catch up" and throws every mechanic at once.

Some people have reported the same on reddit and several are on Vodafone, myself included.

Just posting here to give it a bit more visibility and try to confirm if it’s the server, the ISP, both... Just trying to get some data.

My tests all seem correct on my end, stable ping, no packet loss, but it still lags like crazy.

EDIT: Possible fix, seems changing your DNS to Google DNS fixes the issue, it's early to say if it's a definitive solution, but I've been playing all night with no issue (the issue might also be fixed with any other DNS, and it was just good timing though, haven't rechecked with Cloudflare DNS)

Been having the same issues here.
Since yesterday these issues keep persisting making it near impossible to do dungeons, raids or even fates.
ISP is also Vodafone, Germany, and everything else internet wise is fine.
Would like to get some clarification on what is going on here, as it doesn't seem like its getting much attention.

Same thing here, Vodafone Germany playing on Chaos. It was fine this morning (as far as I could tell) but started acting up again about 2 hours ago or so, even disconnected me while doing roulettes & Fates :/

My ISP is also Vodafone Germany. I have been experiencing massive Lag since yesterday (Chaos DC). There is plenty of bandwidth available and there are no problems with other online games.

I'm also experiencing an issue with this. Just got booted from a dungeon instance and PvP frontline has been unplayable.

Also on Vodafone UK.

It was fine yesterday, but I am having problems since today as well. When doing duties my game freezes for a few seconds. My ISP is Vodafone Germany.

Adding myself to the list here.
Also Vodafone EU (Portugal), playing on Light DC, the lag spikes started yesterday after the patch, and they continue today. I was just doing an Alliance Raid and the constant lag spikes made it unplayable, they also increased in duration with time to the point of ending with a 90006 DC error.

Everything else I do online I have no issues at all.

Same here, Vodafone Germany, Lags/freezes since the Patch whenever someone uses a dot.

Having the same issue. Just logged in to do some FATEs. Having weird lagspikey. My ISP is Vodafone Germany aswell.

I join the Vodafone Germany crew (cable internet). Same behavior as described. Game hangs, basically queues up everything, then handles it all after the lag window, then it repeats. Worse in grouped content. Raids were a pain, hunts (a-rank trains) are impossible.
