- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?): The problem occurs most heavily in the duty finder and instances/Fates. I will start getting lag spikes with R(0).
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them

Name of ISP: Time Warner Cable

When does the problem occur: This problem has been prominent in the instances; the lag spikes are making the harder primal battles unplayable.

When does the problem occur: It's more prominent in instances, but basically every hour or so. Not much lag, just instant DC's.

Cablevision
90000 error every 1-2 minutes - 5 minutes of "your character is already signed in" before I can get back on.
Can stay on for longer with a VPN - sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes an hour. Rarely longer.
Called Cablevision today, reported the problem, and they replied "We don't throttle anything." Real helpful.

[Bale]

Name of ISP: Comcast Cable
Country of Residence: USA (Southeastern Massachusetts)
When does the problem occur: Everywhere and at all times (though I primarily play at night) Error 90000 anywhere from every 5 minutes to every 3 hours and all things inbetween. Constant lag spikes almost always resulting in said disconnect, but sometimes it will be error 90000 instantly with no discernible increase in latency prior.

ISP: CenturyLink
Region: USA, Colorado
When does it occur: Always

There's noticeable lag when I'm soloing, but it's crippling in Duty Finders, especially during dungeons.

[Toludin]

ISP: Time Warner Cable
Location: New York City, USA
When does it occur: all the time, but most pronounced during peak hours

I get routine, almost constant .5 - 1 second lag spikes, especially in crowded areas. Ping test reveals 2-4% packet loss to the server address (199.91.189.44), and PathPing shows this packet loss at end of the connection route.

These delays cause very frequent "stuttering" in terms of the movement of NPCs/players, and delays in casting spells, speaking to NPCs, and mechanics being shown on the screen (red zones). All of this contributes to a less than ideal and somewhat frustrating gameplay.
