Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Pyromanci]

Apologies first of all as I'm not all good with this kind of thing, but are you saying that essentially since it's not an issue with SE, it's something we should be complaining to our ISP (i'm with Virgin Media) about? and if worse comes to the worst, SE kindly complain to our ISP and nothing is done, our best bet is to change our ISP?

You wont have to change ISP, becuase the game is new and most ISP's use a sandvine system for automated throttling. the ISP's just need to update the detection ruless.

When you look at the fact there are few who have the ISPs in this thread. while others in the same area as you who are on a different ISP who don't have the problem. It's clear on who is at fault.

This is happening to different people, with different ISPs. One thing I noticed is that the our network speed indicator goes to 0 whenever this happens to me. Sent is ok, but received is at 0.
Seems like a server issue to me. I played this game perfectly in beta and even when we could barely get on, whenever I got in. Starting the day before the big maintenance I cannot go a day without lag spikes or being disconnected at least 4 times in a day.
This is the case for everything. I've tried:
Resetting everything.
Changing rules in my router.
Checking out my Windows Firewall.

I was going to redownload the game, however I see that many people had did this already and it didn't matter.
I would like at least first a confirmation on this problem, so at least my group members don't look at me like I'm a noob during boss fights.

I live in Philadelphia, PA area. Diabolos. 50D 15U.

Yup same here. Played in Beta, EA and several days after public release with no problems, so unless I'm not understanding something here, I don't think it has anything to do with my ISP since this wasn't a problem at the time.

Same issue here, massive lag spikes, lots of 90k. Can't heal a dungeon with this kind of service, just come back to find tank dead and party angry at you.

The sad part is that I'm 2km away from their data center. Will try to VPN through my work to see if my work ISP's route works better.

2nd DC today in an hour... I hope I won't get to the 20 of yesterday...

Neighbour with the same connection, same modem, same router, same game, same internet provider can play without any lag...

I would have agreed but there is no lag whatsoever when I play on a server located on the JP Data Center. The problem seems to come from the NA/EU data center connection to our ISP and not the game itself. It's probably something they did to the NA/EU data center that's causing our ISPs problem (because I didn't experience lag spikes in August).

Thank you for this.

I was doing great for a few days... until about 10 minutes ago.

Sadface.
