Constant lag spikes

I keep having constant lag spikes every 5 seconds, doesnt matter on which server i connect (Frankfurt,Paris,Amsterdam).

The ping jumps to 450+ and immediatly drops.

Nothing else uses bandwith on my pc.

I'm on the Steam version

Also, when the lag spike happends I cant open a portal. It shows the message "You cannot use this item while tha game is paused."

this showcases the issues

Been a serious issue for a long time. I practically sit on top on my ISP and the datacentre with the Auckland node and yet, I get 30ms, which spikes constantly to 50 and every 6-10 seconds to 300. Australia does the same however my flat latency there is 30 as well, which THAT should be. Something is not right, and they know it, and not even acknowledging how poor their servers are performing is upsetting. Chris, what did you let them do to GGG
Honestly i just want to see it at the known issues for starter.
At least if they know the issue and its on their end they could fix it somehow i guess
I am getting the same issue, also on Steam.
having the same issue hear, it seems to be location based. Guess I can not do the ascent trials without sporadic 10-20 second pauses and possible disconnects for the run.
Posting youtube video to showcase the issue

Same problem for London.

The small chart even show it as data loss entirely which it can't be by my connection as I tried having a ping running at all time and while PoE was detecting packet loss, a simple ping to google.co.uk was absolutely fine.
No regret (orbs)
There’s a 15 page thread about this same issue here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3597548/page/1

In short, it seems pretty common, but we’ve been discussing it in the wrong place.
