Recent Lag Issues

I assume this could go here.
Last week I played the preview event for GW:EN and experienced some serious lag issues when I zone into a new area and since the official release, the horrendous lag is still persistent.
The screen just freezes and when I try to walk it starts rubber banding yet I always end up in the starting location where I zoned. I cannot use any skills neither and the little dot thing that shows your FPS and I.P. is not there and after my first attempt of trying to "wait it out" failed miserably because it did not respond no matter how long i waited.
Also adding to this, I can tell you that I have played GW:EN normally before this started happening.

At first I thought it was just a peak hour problem or a lack of game files downloaded thus causing Guild Wars to stream content but after uninstalling, re-downloading the client then "-imaging" the whole thing TWICE, the problem is still there.
I tried the single file defrag "contig" which fragmented 500ish files to 1, and that did not help either.

So if anyone knows why is this happening please tell me please, because it is getting a bit frustrating.
