I've recently come back from an eso break. I've been playing other online games for a while and had an itch to play eso again.
I log in and one of the first things I notice is that the music keeps cutting in and out, and actions that I take that normally had sound don't play til ~30 seconds to a minute after the action has been taken, then it's just a *** of sounds overlapping each other. I then logged onto another character and ran for a while. The scenery and NPCs weren't loading, then I was kicked to a loading screen that was endless.
I closed the game and restarted it. The first character I log onto I check the ping with (I have an addon that shows it). It seems fine, 300 ping is about normal for online games for me. The next thing I know is that it's at 4,800+ and I can't do anything at all. I can't even type in guild chat.
I don't run the game with the launcher in the background, and I've tried this "fix":

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4388610659. That's about normal).
Nothing is working and I'm really wanting to play. If anyone has any help I'd very much appreciate it. I can't even feed my horses without getting kicked.
