Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[Vanroe]

ISP: Verizon Fios
Location: Massachusetts
Time of Occurrence: After 2.1 Often. Evenings until late into the night and randomly on weekends. (dungeons jittery/stuttering)

It seems to be a problem with the level3 hops. But since its a problem beyond the 5th hop, verizon seems unwilling/able to do anything about it, and have adopted a "it will work itself out/its level3/square's problem" stance.

Since its an issue thats been happening (for me) since 2.1 my only guess is that the increases server position check frequency is not jiving with the Level3 switch. This would also seem to explain why im mostly seeing it in dungeons.
