Anyone else using Comcast High Speed Internet experiencing this?Intermittent lag, usually 4-5 seconds, sometimes as long as 10-15 seconds, modem activity light flashing extremely fast, seems to be more prevalent during peak times (such as Saturday mornings)  Basically activity of pcs and npcs on screen suspends but my character can still move around on screen but hotkeys do not function.  Have had friends who use Comcast experience same problem, even some from other states.  Sometimes the problem is so severe it makes it impossible to play (especially since I play on a pvp server)Could peer-to-peer filtering be the cause?  Here is an AP article about it:<a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gxRiQSVfgK4sLbVRE_X4MOlM9q0A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5...bVRE_X4MOlM9q0A</a>just curious if anyone is having the same problem or if any devs might have any helpful info about the problem

I think that some of the EQ2 servers are in San Diego - not 100% sure tho.  If this is the case, then I'm sure the fires cutting power and cable lines could be a cause of any internet issues as well.T
