Constant Lag spikes today, anyone else?

Is anyone else experiencing these lag spikes this evening?
For the last couple hours my ping has been spiking constantly. Literally every second it's spiking several hundred ms, back to normal, back to spiking. The game is unplayable other than basic trade and vendor.
I've updated drivers, reset router and computer, changed servers multiple times between TX and California but nothing works.

You must be new here
I've only been playing PoE for about 4 years, so I suppose so, but I'm not sure what you mean by that?
The game constantly lags so idk where you've been.

That's what I mean by that, you must be new or slow
I'm not sure why you feel the need to insult me. I just wanted to know if it was a local problem or being shared by others, but thank you for your feedback and I hope you can find some joy in your life.
I just logged in and experienced lag with two maps. I was thinking it was pack size but no. Not sure if it is just server lag at this time.

At least it's not just me, but I hope it gets fixed relatively soon. I've been enjoying life stack slayer and was excited to play with my new shield this evening (got a 6% spell damage Rathpith)

Maybe it's time to play something single player, like a little Subnautica to get ready for the sequel finally releasing in early access.

I tried to run a map and it jumped to several thousand MS, so I'm gonna go face a less scary monster than lag...The Reapers!

No lag or issues since first 2 days of league launch. Though on the rare occasion I have had disconnects but it was always due to my isp (internet down).
