Server Side Lag Getting Out of Hand
I've noticed this happening often lately. Playing SWTOR with no issues, then suddenly everything freezed. Server Lag goes into the red, and will hit over 400,000ms. This can last for several minut...

My connection goes through level3 as well and is horrendous, but only in the evenings .. during the day I can play without any problems ...

Pathping stops because the first couple of hops in my tracert time out ... So it actually shows me that I have 0 packet loss to my router 🙂
I sent a bunch of pings to see if I had any packet loss and the result says enough:

At the same time, I have no issues with the TeamSpeak server our guild uses (I have a steady 23 ms latency to that server, no audio issues)
Speedtest attached.
EDIT: after finding this all, I connected to an OpenVPN server and I now have no issues whatsoever (the OpenVPN server connects to that same IP through telia instead of level3)
Mine is the same. During the day it is fine. In the evenings it is terrible. Only for SWTOR.
Same problems for me, I have traced the problem to be a company called level3, that is some sort of a telecommunication company through which the swtor data/connection goes through. They are giving me thousands of server lag everywhere, Strongholds, every planet, every location, every character, on The Progenitor EU server. It's making my game totally unplayable, DC'ing all the time, yet every single other internet using program/game works perfectly on the side. It has -nothing- to do with my computer/connection. I have contacted BW customer service for this, yet they always answer with the same automatic reply of ''Try to use our troubleshooting'', which I've tried, every single suggestion, nothing helped, its SO frustrating, since I JUST resubbed, I'm paying for their game that I'm not even able to play anymore. I contacted level3 through their facebook page, and they answered, asked me to contact my own ISP (Internet Service Provider), I did, and they said they arent able to help. How is this fair for a paying customer of Bioware/EA?
tried WTFast.com, didnt help. My problem comes even when the server population is low. Getting freaking frustrated and helpless.
