Horrible connectivity and lag

[YoureDown]

For starters I want to say I never ever ever have connectivity or lag problems, in any game. so lets put my connection aside right now. also tested to see if its me and it turns out that no.

alright, so starting the mabar rush hours, I cant connect to the game properly. I get a "connection to the server has been lost" error either on first load screen (before toon select), world load screen (after toon select) or a similar error in the launcher itself. This also is similar to a problem with jorasco currently where there are around 300 people on the same instance of jorasco, since it wont instance itself. you know what 300 people in a 10 meter radius does, lag. lots of glorious lag and connectivity problems. anyone knows a work around?
[edit]: seems its not persistent, tried to connect multiple times to see if it works, and I get a success rate of around 30%. I just got in the game.

I had similar problems with extreme lag and DCs when I first joined a couple of months ago. That I believe had to do with an update that dropped and some (turbine)internal networking issues. That was at the beginning of Sept.

Since then, I've been able to trace intermittant lag to ISP or LAN about half the time. but it hasn't been a huge issue.

Yeah I checked ISP problems as well and its not them.

currently I just freeze up completely at some point with 150 ping (normal) and 0% loss, BUT, 20 Bps sent 0 Bps recieved. I think turbines server are over-filled.
