Major network overflow problem?

This looks like it hasn't been addressed for over a year. Figured I'd put in a request before I left again.

My connection last year looked clean most of the time, but whenever I used a high end quicksilver flask or got near a burning or freezing shrine, even when it wasn't on the map yet, my ping would skyrocket. Shrouded/skeletal shrines were worse, and those mods could spawn on bosses making the game unplayable. Long story short, I lost the last 4 portals to my 1st map and when I vented in chat I got the typical fanboi response. I filed it under 'company doesn't care if people lag out to login' and uninstalled, glad I hadn't spent 900$ for a supporter pack like I was considering since I couldn't even get to 70.

Fast forward to this month, I return to see if things have gotten better and... they're worse. I lagged out with my 1st Rampage character trying to get to Mud Flats because maps that have masters in them lag, I lag during their missions, and timed missions are sometimes unfinishable, so I stopped doing them. After the amazement on how this could go on for so long faded I heard the servers are located in Dallas, Texas, which unnerved me since I just stopped playing a game whose owner chose an economy ISP in Dallas. I hope they're not the same, but knowing my luck they probably are.

This is my latest Pathping with onboard ethernet (WU hasn't offered Realtek updates, can manually check if necessary), Linksys Router (1 connection), Motorola Surfboard (latest DOCSYS):


Addresses before NetworkLayer have been edited, but if you need the original I can email it. There's probably no point, this trace was done while idling in Sarn AND watching someone else's Twitch feed. For all the faults of my ISP, they haven't been that bad for a while now.

This is a replicatable problem, I can do it ANY time I mousebutton around the shrine/master, and although singleclick moving around burning/freezings infrequently was a solution, the shrouded/skeletal/masters problems don't really have solutions. I simply lag out and lucky if I log back in before dying. Once I tried exiting to character selection/logout while surrounded by a Bringer of Bones boss and the game just froze, with only the portal graphic still swirling. I had to TM the program closed and restart, just not in time since I came back with the death counter up 1.

If you want more info or screenshots I can make and send them, but if you want to monitor the connection while I play, then you'll need to give me whatever program to do it since I'm not spending my money on realtime network monitoring software. Also not planning on doubling the monthly bill to upgrade from 30/6 to 100/10 when there shouldn't be a problem with the 5/1 I had, especially for a F2P game (wouldn't exactly make it free).

Again, connection clear while multitasking, clear when not near certain shrines/bosses/master/anything else that actually makes the game fun, but any of those or the missions masters send me on it's mostly unplayable. If this has happened before, give me a heads up to a solution, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd probably pass out and wake up at login.
