Ok wtf is up, server is laggy as hell i've now been afk penaltied because i havent been able to do squat since my ship looks like it belongs on one of those teacup rides with a boeing 747 engine attached to it. Stop "fixing TRIBBLE" cuz all you're doing is breaking more.

I've had NO lag at all in over a week for example, and if the problem was server side EVERYBODY would experience the same lag. The last time I had any lag, my connection was playing up giving me high latency issues. It's more likely that either a) your pc is having problems running STO, or b) your connection to the server (by this I mean somewhere along the route between your connection to the internet and the server, NOT your actual internet connection) is flawed.
Don't be so fast to blame the server.

Also a general rule of thumb, if a new patch/update suddenly causes your machine to have fits, its one of 2 things. Its either the above (server, or the client, are broken and *everyone* has a problem) or your computer has a problem with the new content (this almost always means you need to update your graphics card driver, or possibly your operating system, or rarely, other drivers). If your computer is older and weaker, new content may be too much for it, and you may have to reduce your graphics settings -- this is much more rare, but after 5+ years, games tend to upgrade their graphics quality which demands more of the hardware, so a pc that ran the day 1 release of the game just barely may struggle with an expansion a decade later. Finally, your ISP could have choked -- many a time, an ISP will be upgrading hardware and that does not do too much to typical web users but can trash the performance of games. Or you could have some other web related issue, some router between you and cryptic has the hiccups, for example. Stuff happens. Some of these issues you can look into and try to fix (drivers, etc) and some are out of your hands until the third party (ISP, router owner, whoever) buys new hardware and gets it set up properly.
I can understand that the lagging was a surprise for the 1st STF. But why did you need to queue up for a 2nd STF? You were likely to still be lagging massively and still unable to contribute to the mission.
Until yesterday this game has been running very smoothly. But I was rubberbanding on the ground and in space.
Had to call it quits early.
It is not my machine, I have a relatively badass pc. Not the newest tech, but it's more than capable of running almost any game with no problem.
I'm thinking it's got to be my ISP, because I noticed my internetz was a bit laggy last night as well.
to the OP however, if you have that kind of lag, why did you even queue? you must have noticed the lag before you queued. do people log on, and instantly queue up for things? why would you do that? if the lag only starts when you get into ISE or something, its likely your computer is lagging do to graphical issues, which has nothing to do with internet.
i can have a 3-way skype call running, streaming music, and downloading another game in steam all while playing STO, and not have any problem. but sometimes on max graphics, torpedo spread 3 causes my laptop to pause for half a second. when this happens i just lower my graphics settings. if you're getting alot of lag ingame, check your graphics and make sure they're at the lowest. if that does nothing to change the problem, its an internet thing.
Yes, i suffered those "teleport back" issues, but those issues happens maybe once in a few days, or not even in a week at all no big deal xD. U should play other games, you will think "ow, STO is really amazing, no lag at all xD". Those "teleport" back issues once in a few hours are normal in online action games, you need to live with it. It cant help it. And they are not a problem, since they last for a few seconds.
I only hope the guy author of this post is not another one of those who uses facebook, twitter, "facepalm" and a torrent client at the same time he plays xD, for example.
Generally the servers are pretty stable, but I do get the occasional lag spike, where everything just stops for 10-30 seconds, but those luckily are far and few between.
Patch days can lead to the servers acting like they are on drugs, but that is MMO games servers for you, they do unexpected things from tome to time...
We have about 10 people on TS all the time and 25 or so in prime time
no one is complaing about lag
The problem is on your end my friend

I'm over Wi-Fi and I still don't experience lag. It's most definitely YOU, sir. Either your specs are too high and your getting just client side lag or its your connection.
But I do hope you realize that the time you've taken to post in the forums about the lag, you could have called your ISP, checked your router/modem, and game settings and probably gotten it fixed. Maybe you just don't have the computer for it?
Your computer and your router may be OK, but that doesn't mean your ISP can support a quality connection to the STO servers. If you really think that there is nothing wrong with your setup, then why not run the 'Net Test' and 'Trace Route' Network diagnostic, described in this thread...

... and post the results in the Tech Support forum and put your $$$ where your mouth is...
Have you REALLY tested your ISP? For a long while one of the backbones my ISP goes through to get to STO was overloaded and was affecting me pretty badly.
Speed and Ping Tests are completely useless in diagnosing specific networking issues. Your traffic does not go from your ISP to the servers directly. Unless your actively monitoring every hop you might not see very much.
It might seem like its only STO but for me the majority of my providers traffic to other games, sites, voice servers was going through AT&T's backbone but for STO and Hulu the traffic was going through a different overloaded backbone and those 2 services would lag out or hang on frequent occasion.
What did trace route tell you? And, routes change, you have to run it WHEN you are having a problem.
