Apologies, but I didn't download ping plotter. I don't feel comfortable downloading third party software like that, always some hidden stuff in it. All I wanna know is if anyone else is experiencing this. Speedtest shows my ping to constantly be around 16-25, the usual, so I can only assume it's SWTOR and they might just need to restart servers. Also saw server transfers were free so maybe there's increased traffic.

You question installing third party software but have and use Flash, one of the most unsecure softwares on the net?
:O
I hope you update it daily.
Speedtest has a bias as well. Since it's the most commonly used routing test on the net, many ISPs provide better routing to those servers so that those tests get better results.
Since installing software isn't an option for you, you can try opening a prompt and doing a pathping
to their servers. You can find a list of IP addresses here:

I;m on crappy wifi most days so I'm used to seeing latency in the 25-50 range.
I ran a tracert and after the 6th node when it connects to the BioWare server it increases. The numbers look like:
1. 1ms. 1ms. 1ms
2. 12ms. 12ms. 12ms
3. 31 ms. 32ms. 26ms
4. 12ms. 15ms. 14ms
5. 17ms. 15ms. 15ms
6. 44ms. 31ms. 30ms
7. 35ms. 32ms. 30ms
8. 40ms. 41ms. 40ms
9. 40ms. 36ms. 38ms
10. 41ms. 40ms. 41ms
11. 48ms. 78ms. 47ms
12. 47ms. 47ms. 85ms
13. 52ms. 83ms. 49ms
14. 49ms. 47ms. 47ms
15. 47ms. 47ms. 69ms
16. 47ms. 47ms. 47ms
17. 50ms. 46ms. 57ms
18. 52ms. 48ms. 49ms
I don't know how to read these, so is it my end or something else? A pathping also reads similar.
