strange lag issues (they started after today maintenance )

[Skoll8]

Same as most people. After this last patch I've been getting weird lag spikes. Every 5 seconds or so there will be a 1-2 second lag then everything zooms to catch up. This happens in town, crafting, and tried a few different dungeons, all the same. I've tried port forwarding, resetting the router/modem, etc. Pinging the server shows about 103-110ms. Oddly though, it seems like it's easier to get out of aoe circles without taking damage, if I happen to not be having a lag spike (compared to normally having to clear the red circle a second or so before the circle disappears to avoid damage). I'm also using Cox Cable near Phoenix, AZ. Speed tests show it's a 33Mbps download, 10Mbps upload.

This makes harder content near impossible. I could do CM just fine since it's an easy dungeon, and helping guildies out with things like Chimera and Darkhold are alright. I can't imagine trying to do the HM primals or AK with it doing this crap.

Since yesterday I've had this issue, too. It's much worse today. I'll summon my chocobo and it can take up to 5-10 seconds for it to appear. Changing classes takes several tries, very laggy. Have to click NPCs multiple times before anything pops up. Have lost connectivity, battle and others rubber band and lag... It's a big pain.

I tried resetting the settings, and it's not helping. Playing something else until it's fixed.
