Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Lilysparkle]

Hi hi. Just wanted to chime in and say I am with Sky too (used to be BE), and something definitely happened last week (14th/15th/16th?) because I have been getting lag spikes as well (everyone stops moving for 2-8s and then the game "catches up"). I haven't suffered any 90k. Yet. But the lag spikes are making healing very tricky. :\ And sometimes while crafting, when I do an action, the hotbar goes grey and I can't press any other actions, and have to wait for game to catch up again. This has never ever happened prior to last week, so I truly wonder what happened that suddenly affected everyone. :<

Oh and edit: I think it's a shame if ppl are forced to use paid VPN services to get around this. It would almost be comical to later discover SE had stocks/shares in these services. ;p Purposefully tweak an MMO connection to be awful > players get unhappy > players pay for VPN service > everything hunkydory again....
