My Choppy Lag Problem

Ok, im not sure what is up but I was about to loose it.

I know it's not my pc and Im not sure if it's my connection. First, it lags when i play. If I click on an item or person, I warp to them and then it shows me warping back and walking backwards! Monsters and NPC's and real people in the game move in choppy teleports from one place to another, and when I have 15 energy and use flare, IT SAYS IM OUT UNTIL 20!

If I go to CMD and renew my IP address, then it works perfect for 4 min. It gets worse as I keep playing.

MY QUESTION IS WHY DOES IT DO THIS?? It did this 3 days ago and then i renew my IP and it was perfect until just now. I know it's not my graphic card and my pc has plenty of power and memory. I turned off all of my applications to reduce memory usage but no change. I even made a new user account! And updated all of my drivers and almost wanted to reinstall the game.

So.. why is this game making me and my whole guild miserable with this stupid lag! I CANT PLAY AT ALL! Please help me and gutten tag!

I used email tech support in beta for the infamous Error=5 issue (which was fixed in retail).
they answered it the next day

Try changing your automatically assigned DNS server to 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2. These are to Gideontech's DNS servers and after the comcast DNS outage a couple of weeks ago I have been using these with no problems at all.
