distance and npc fail load

[Ditto]

I have this same problem. For a while I've been wondering if it was because the game recommends a Quad Core Processor, and I'm using a Dual Core (Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz), but to me it seems more like a connection issue or something. Sometimes Quests even take forever to update on an NPC, and the quest complete mark lingers over their head far after I've already handed the quest in, making me wait until it finally updates to grab the next quest.

Mobs tend to either not show up, or disappear randomly, causing me to get hit by invisible things that I cant target. Animations and the sound lags, to where my character will start to slide around, not moving at all, yet still applying skill damage to targets, then suddenly catching up after a while. (I can literally get out my entire rotation before it fixes itself, for a few seconds, then starts again) The sound is choppy and seems to struggle to play, or keep up during stuff like Fates.

I've also had my chance to explore the waters of Limsa Limonsa as well, somehow hitting an invisible wall in the middle of nowhere, then falling through the map.

This is the most irritating thing I have ever experienced in an MMO before, and it couldn't be my connection because my signal strength is always marked excellent, and the severity of it seems to happen around my servers peak moments.

Sometimes if I manage to log in early enough, around 9am - 1pm EST when a lot of people are in school or at work, then stay logged in throughout the peak moments still on that connection, it will be more tolerable. But god forbid I get a random 90k error, or a Runtime error, and have to reestablish that connection.

If this info helps any bit;

ISP: Service Electric
Type of Internet Connection: Cable
Internet Connection Speed: Around 20Mbit/s (Changes to like 7Mbit/s from 5PM - 1AM Est, but always stays 7 or above)
Date & Time: 7:13 PM, 8/30/2013
Frequency: Sometimes; During server moments that aren't considered 'peak'. Always; during peak moments.
Character Name: Echo Arc
Race: Miqo'te
World: Diabolos
Class/Level: 40, Lancer (Dragoon) Has been happening since around the start of Early Access however.
Area and Coordinates: Everywhere. There's no specific spot where this will decide to happen. However, it seems less common on maps where there aren't a lot of people on, such as in dungeons. Though even then it can still occasionally happen, just not as severe.
Party or Solo: Both
NPC Name: Any NPC. They can often take quite a while just to update quests after turning one in, or even begin the dialogue for a quest after initiating it. Often I find myself standing next to an NPC for a few minutes waiting for the Quest Complete mark to disappear, and update to the next Quest that NPC has to give.
Monster Name: Any monster. Some wont appear for about a minute or so, causing you to get hit by invisible things. This especially happens in Fates. In specific, if it helps, Svara has just recently had a serious case with this a few minutes prior to this, where, even though the fight is fairly long, for the entire duration of it she remained invisible. Couldn't target or anything. She appeared for me once, then disappeared just as fast, and did that 3 times or so as I stood there waiting for her to load so I could attack.
In-Game Time: It seems to just happen whenever it feels like it. Most often during peak times. There's not a time when I don't notice even the littlest bit of this problem while playing. It's as if it's almost always there, just not always as bad.
Steps: Simply logging in, and playing the game as anyone would.
