looking back on the forums, this problem seems to recur every 5 years or so. This is NOT the five-year mission I signed up for 
! Seriously, this keeps happening and I don't think I'm alone. My internet service, modem and pc are all up to snuff, why does this keep happening?

The post was made by Rattler2 .... Unfortunately its entirely possible that the path between you and the servers is getting bottlenecked, in which case its not on either you or Cryptic, but whatever is in between.
Think of it like city streets. Home is your computer, your destination is the STO Server. And every intersection between the two are nodes controlled by other entities. Any one of them could be the cause.
Best way to figure out where the problem is I think is to do a traceroute, which should bring up nodes along the way and might reveal any network congestion along the way.
How to perform said traceroute can be found here ..... https://support.arcgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017622954-Performing-a-traceroute-tracert-
