Stuttering, intermittent freezing, lag/latency spikes
Hello,
I posted this topic on the SWTOR Bug Reports Forums, here is the link.
Upon a suggestion, I took snippits of the pingplotter's graphs. 10 snips over 30 minutes, at 5 minute segments. Then copied the images to a Microsoft Word Doc.
Here's the original thread:

Just to recap, gameplay is stuttered, occasionally freezes, ability activation is delayed either entirely or for anywhere between 1-3 seconds, same with channeling/casting.
And then latency meter either spikes before, during, and/or after gameplay freezes/stutters.
Any help is appreciated.
Long story short, it was a coaxial tertiary coaxial cable outbound from a splitter on the outside of my house.
It prior to the Tuesday of 11/24, the cable in question wasn't plugged in. After painting with my family, the splitter and cables were reconnected, and that's when the spikes started happening.
I asked my dad if he did anything different putting them back together, he said he came across one of the separate from the others that was originally disconnected.
I went through one by one till I found one that could disconnect that didn't affect any other systems in the house.
Low and behold! My latency spiking issue was gone.
It's a curious thing though for a coaxial leaving a splitter to cause lag spikes. I've never heard of such an issue.Thank you for your help as well.
