Game periodically stops responding to input for seconds or minutes

I was just going to post my problems with this exact issue:

High latency spikes at seemingly random (but extremely frequent) intervals, no inputs necessary, just lag where I freeze and the rest of the world goes on (usually killing me and then disconnecting me after for good measure). Freezes for fractions of seconds, seconds and sometimes minutes. It happens multiple times a minute. I haven't been through a single zone (towns included) without lag.

Multiple gateways, different styles of connection to my own internet connection and no changes. Internet health checks online show no problems. Other games work fine.

For me, this happened pre-Sentinel but it wasn't so bad or as common. Mid-Sentinel, the issues became more intense so I just quit.

Additionally, my housemate is also experiencing the same issues though their lag spikes are not as intense nor are they getting as frequent disconnects. However, for PoE it's still unplayable when it comes to endgame when second-long hiccups gets one killed every 5 maps.
