In Star Wars the Old republic I am getting fairly regular and sometimes severe server lag spikes, often going from full bars and around 80 ms latency to one red bar remaining and over 800 ms latency....

Sadly, that's just how the Internet works and as a end user you have limited control over it. Sometimes, certain routes on the Internet are busy and cause delays but usually this is just a temporary hickup and will get better a few days later.
If it stays like that, you have the following options to force your computer to take a different route to the SWTOR servers, which may not have that high of a ping:
- Use a VPN like WTFast or Pingzapper. Most programs have a free trial period which may be long enough for your normal connection to get better again, so you may not even have to pay for it.
- Switch to a different Internet provider. But that's not too good of an idea since every provider can have problems like this.
