Path of Exile 2 — Network Spikes After Patch (0.3)

At this point I just want them to address this. I don't mind to hear if it's not an easy nor quick fix but at least don't ignore us, just a little bit of transparency and communication please.
Same.

I thought this was a personal internet problem at first and when I looked it up it seems like a lot of players are getting these huge latency spikes. I tried a whole bunch of the recommended changes and it didn't do anything to help.

What is going on with these spikes!? I literally just stopped playing now b/c they were so frequent.
This has been going on for weeks, needs to be fixed already.
I'm also facing this issue, but as i've started playing for the first time AFTER 0.3, I've just assumed it was my internet the issue (recently moved and sticking to a crap wi-fi stick in pc), but then I found this post.

What I want to bring here is that, when I'm playing with my iphone hotspot linked VIA CABLE (using itunes app), the games run completely smooth! my wi-fi gets the same speed almost every test I do in comparision to the cellphone, but the game runs soooooooo much smoother its hardly to believe.

Can this be an specific issues with wi-fi connections in general? not depending on your speed or signal, just maybe some incompatibility?
they didnt say anything about it nor even adress it...
Same with the freeze problem at release.
I do not understand why the communication is that poor.
There is an obvious problem many players concern and they
just ignore it for weeks....
Yeah! I have become quite the expert at hitting the escape key, wait a few seconds and then continue to play.And yes, before 0.3 I never had these kind of issues. Same PC, same connection - I even run network commands to see if I’ll have timeouts, but no.

Same same. Server network latency jump up to 4-5k ms. My internet is 1000/1000 megabit and im playing on a 4000$ computer. And I can't play the game...
Im from Brazil and also have the same latenci problems. All of a suden the network graph spikes 5000 ms and then returns to 12. The game is basically unplayable.
Turn IPV6 in your Router off than it works perfectly.
For weeks now it has been absolutely unplayable for longs streaks. I am not kidding, see below.

Spikes registered under 'Network', but frankly, to me it reeks of server resource starvation. Worst time seems to be what counts as evening here.

Moving to a new zone can make it run normal, or you run into massive rubberbanding. Once it goes down the drain I regularly watch the 'Network' latency run from the usual 10-15 ms to 300-600 and back down, and often enough to over 70k (70 seconds!), after which it either (very rarely) disconnects, or just plays everything that happened in 50x speed, resulting in death, of course.
