Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[Horatium]

Any of you tried any Japan server? i have same problems like you on EU server but no lag at all on Titan (Japan serveR).
So is definitely a problem with EU/NA data center, there is something (router/server/switch/something) which drop packets for us... arround 5% loss during 30 mins of monitoring.

I've send a mtr log to support, i hope someone see it and identify those IPs which lose packets.

After reading this I decided to make a character on a Japanese server. Same result as you. No problems for me either.
If the Japanese server is in Japan then the problem that's bothering us is either, as you and I both stated, server related therefor on SE's side (as we all started having problems since the beginning of September without issues prior to that) or something changed in the route to the server which is causing problems for us.
What's weird about this is that some ISPs (friends in Belgium have a variety of ISPs, none of them have any problems) are getting bad results a long the route due to whatever reasons but that doesn't change the fact that it started this month without any problems in August.
Wasn't there a maintenance at the end of August? Maybe they changed something that's causing this and changing back whatever they messed up would solve it.

So is definitely a problem with EU/NA data center

Partially agree (see above).

Only thing we can do now is hope they find the culprit and fix it ASAP.

Just created a new character on Titan also and so far no problems. Also tried a character on a NA server (Midgardsormr) and for the majority of the 20 minutes I was on then no issues, although the delay in actions did kick in latterly although nothing like the EU lag and was quickly over - Edit[22:10 BST] now getting lag on NA server also.

So tried a character on Phoenix (EU), initially seemed ok but after a short while, 5 minutes or so, the lag was back. Tried another on Raknarok and again seemed ok to begin with but when using Return, character was left hanging in mid air for a minute or two before eventually reappearing at the home point, although only after having another minute or two with no character on screen.

However it is much worse for my main character on Cerberus. Tried it again and instantly the lag is there and this time 5 to 10 minutes to change a gear set - unbelievable.

This surely can't be that difficult to resolve.

I've created a character on a japanese server too. At first it seemed to work fine but after 30 minutes i've got the first lag spike, then i've tried a Fate and it was a lag fest...
