Massive lag spikes now

Been dealing with massive lag spikes all of a sudden (last 2 days). Too scared to run maps. Here is the thing. Please help!

Also, I feel like I should share more info.

This started 2 days ago. The lag is so bad, it feels like playing a slide show. It does not matter where I am, I get a second of smooth game play, followed by a second or more of frozen screen. This pattern constantly refreshes over and over. I went into a map with elemental weakness, and the debuff flying around my head freezes in place every few seconds.

I have tried other servers, same issue as described.

I have tried other games, no lag.

A speed test shows my upload speed around 600mbps and upload around 125mbps.
I’m experiencing the exact same issue as you and my friends, and we’re all from the Philippines with different internet service providers. Normally, we connect to the Hong Kong and Singapore servers because they give us a stable 40-80ms ping, but for the past two days, we’ve been seeing massive ping spikes. Now, both Hong Kong and Singapore servers show pings of 180ms-250ms, and in-game, it’s so bad that it feels like a slideshow with constant stuttering.
Same here last couple of days lag has been insane especially in maps. From Australia.
How do you run a WinMTR report for POE2? I have downloaded the program, and I'm not sure what to use for a host address. The lag in this game is unbearable to play. 99% of my deaths are from lag deaths.
