Log in, can run around, everyone seems to move, then pause, no attacks work

As soon as I left the south shroud the lag stopped, I went back and it returned, maybe its area based?

There was a thread about this on beta forum, everyone affected was on either BT or EE (orange)

[tearju]

me too i'm having what Suaimhneas is having this lag he described perfectly (English BT ISP)

Yes it makes it unplayable and it's key dungeon/raid time (meaning guilds won't want me for raiding lol) kinda important,
Got lag in phase 3 parts 1-3 in the evening on part 4 there was no lag at night then phase 4 there was again and again now in headstart so disappointing what are we to do?

Interesting, I too am getting this.
I've got it in South Shrouds and New Gr.. dia however it is spelt =)

I also have BT internet, though this has only occurred since logging back in after maint.

Same, BT here in Manchester

I don't think it's the ISP, just try playing another online game and it's clear connection isn't the problem.

The reason that the connection is so patchy is because BT count it as a P2P connection. The exact same thing happened with Rift in beta except it was much more widespread so it was solved much earlier. It can be easily fixed by Square getting in contact with BT which is exactly what BT support suggests when you contact them.

Not getting my hopes up on that happening any time soon

Surely its not up to us to tell SE to contact BT - Didnt Yoshi say something that he'd personally written a letter to be sent to all ISPs before the release of ARR.

Can confirm this issue too, problems in phase 3 and 4 with the game becoming unplayable after 7pm every night...Problem resolves itself around midnight. Im with EE, and i contacted them who said they'd pass info on to the relevant team. Guess nothing is being done. As of now, game is unplayable, takes 5 mins or so for an npc to respond to a click, 5 mins for an ability to fire off etc.
