It's not your pc, it's the game's ISP (and probably the game servers as well). While you can't verify the status of the game servers, you can rule out pathway from your ISP to the game server by running a trace.
To do a trace (in windows): Go to the start menu, go down to Run and enter "cmd" (without quotes). In the command prompt window enter one of the following:
tracert 38.103.63.131
tracert 38.103.63.136
tracert 38.103.63.145
The first is the address to the login server, the second is to PvE server Valdes and the third is for Lintra. Below is a trace I just did to the login server and as you can see Cogent has some lag (100ms+), but its not bad. So if I were logged into the game now and was experiencing lag I would say it was the game servers (not Cogent).

it lagged really bad during open beta
when people complanied they were met with "stfu noob its beta what do you expect"
looks like the issue has gone unresolved
during OB they stated that it was an ISP issue and related to OB stress testing of the servers and that for final release it would not be a problem
what about gold farmers/bots/ missing and incorrect quest text
all were very bad problems during beta (yeah i know gold farmers in ob)
also was the problem of running for a mob and getting pummled to death when the mob was miles away from you (you couldnt run from mobs they would kill you no matter how far ahead you were from them)
any of these problems fixed for the final release?
please let me know with minimal fanboi'ism and flaming
No, old issues remain and more have been added. Click here to read the thread.
thanks for the update silver...i just uninstalled it rather than update and start from scratch as there was an ob wipe
another thing i forgot to mention which is a massive and unacceptable oversight is the pvp (on the pvp servers at least)
in ob i gave the pvp map an honest try, even got into a guild that would run around this map and pvp others (in a shameful zerg fashion) and the pvp was terrible, the person who initiates the pvp has such a huge advantage as the person being attacked must quickly locate, click +shift (or w/e the clumsy command to pk is) on the attacker, who is most likely killed you by the time youve done this.
there is no pk on/pk off function that allows you to treat others as a hostile mob, even when others have pk on you cannot simply tab+attack or just click to attack
i could be wrong but it was very had to test as by the time i was able to get my cursor over the attacker and click to select them i would already be dead ( and i wasnt a one hit squishy)
