Well, It has been a while since today's maintenance window ended, yet lag is absolutely killing me. The weekly patch download was awfully slow, though when it was done I took what it looked like a normal time to log in and get to the character selection screen, but that was it.
It took almost a full minute until I could star moving on the sector zone, and was totally unplayable when I joined an STF, as more ships entered the map it only got worse.
I thought it might be my lousy Argentinean ISP, but now I'm downloading files at speeds over 720 Kb/s and I have no issues watching full HD Youtube videos.
Edit:
Well... in my haste to complain I skipped the responsible thing to do, which is actually reading the forum guidelines before just posting the complain.
Now after finding the server I should be checking I had some interesting results:

Seems my lousy ISP is doing just fine for a change but just after the verizon jump things go downhill with pings over 180ms, an awful one of 617ms, and a couple of straight out time outs (these could be servers with network control protocol configured to not respond to pings/traces but can also mean SERIOUS trouble)

Yup, it is insane!
Do we have any news from the devs about what's wrong?
Considering that there's still about 30 minutes to go of maintenance I think that might be your problem. Try again in half an hour.
aah, since i'm confused with the time i thought it was one hour over already....
It took almost a full minute until I could star moving on the sector zone, and was totally unplayable when I joined an STF, as more ships entered the map it only got worse.
