Heavy intermittent lag on Victory?

Several different people in different locations, including myself, are experiencing pretty severe lag on Victory. It's in different zones, including instances.

My netgraph bar is a forest of tall yellow spikes, and I'm just hanging out in PI in front of Portal Corps.

Are we having network hardware issues, perhaps?

I was just getting some crazy rubberbanding and lag on Virtue. Was enough to convince me to just log out for now.

the only time ive been getting lag is when contact images dont show up and i try to talk to contact or open contact window or view player info, which is intermittent for me
