So first off, here's my speedtest. Second. I'm wired, not wireless. Alright, so lately over the past few days I've been having constant little lag spikes every 15 seconds or so, they last about 5 seconds then play resumes perfectly, or I D/C if it takes too long. No error message, just sends me back to login screen D/C. I already had a service tech (useless bunch as they are) come out and look at the internet, and he said he fixed it. Seeing as the lag was only me in my party, (failed the cpq cuz I was leader, so now I feel bad) I'd like to see if anybody here can provide any help. Are there any ports I need to open? Because I've tried testing the internet 20 times in a row and its always showing that same result. EDIT I'd like to add that I haven't been experiencing this lag in any other game I play.
We need to see a traceroute to be able to diagnose the problem. Please see the thread called 'Host Feedback' in the feedback forum.

I let it run for about 5 minutes. Let me know if I should do it for longer. Looking at other peoples MTRs I'm a little concerned by there being no response from like 8 of the hosts...
A lot of ISP's are different but I can see that you sent and received 285 packets of data so any lag which occurred during this time would not have been to do with the connection. It could either be processing lag on your computer or processing lag on our end. You should try and find out if others in game are having the lag spikes at the same time as you are.
I would hope I'm not having any processing lag :/ This rig is quite the beast. I'll try to do another one of these later tonight, as that was when it happened yesterday.
