Network Lag [Merged]

I have been having network lag on and off since purchase. There are evenings where I can’t actually play because I will disconnect from the server every 15-30 minutes. Usually leading up to this disconnect, every action I attempt (using skills, jumping, rolling, etc) doesn’t occur.

I have switched servers multiple times in an attempt to remedy this, and it usually goes away in the short term, however it always comes back. I also forwarded the ports listed here (Screenshots with port forwarding proof Two of them don’t appear to have worked, however. I had the game running (actually in game, not just at the launcher or the character select) at the time I took these screenshots.)

I have run out of ideas to help this game run laglessly. Also it’s probably not on my end (Unless you guys know something I don’t :P) I have 4MB/s download speed and 150kb/s upload speed on a bad day. My router is gigabit. I am connected to it over a gigabit supporting ethernet port, and have yet to experience network related issues in other games.

EDIT: Servers I’ve switched to in an attempt to remedy this are Borlis Pass, Isle of Janthir, and most recently Devona’s rest. The latter being a medium population server. It’s smaller playerbase did not help.

Also everything Guild Wars 2 related in Windows 7’s firewall is enabled. I also just gave the listed Guild Wars 2 ports high priority access on my router’s QoS (Quality of service) section. Will edit post again with updates.

EDIT 2: Nope.

EDIT 3: ISP: Shaw Communications
Location: Canada
