Ok, so the connection to US West is much better. This is the latency chart for Angel 1 right now for me
Went to Beckon on US East just to see what it was like
Not as steady as Angel 1, but leaps and bounds better than Aus or EU.
Edit: Physically I am closer to Aus server than the US server, and up until the last month or so I never had connection issues on Lasaina (where my home is). So something has changed recently, and not all the time, that is causing me issues.

In general my connection is still the same as it was in the beginning, but there is one things that is really weird. Whenever I arrive on a planet there’s nothing wrong at all then after some time, feels like 5 minutes or so, suddenly my character stops moving for a fraction of a second and I get the Unplayable Connection. Then afterwards I can stay 10 minutes or several hours without seeing it ever again. And I also get this on servers that are in my region.
This is new behaviour since the last update…

I am thinking my issue is a time of day thing with my connection to certain servers. Maybe due to my location, early in the morning my connection to Aus is best because its even earlier in the day there, but then closer to lunch time its busier in Aus but the US is winding down so my connection becomes better to the US servers than to the Aus server, etc etc…
Just odd to me that Boundless is the only game that seems to have connection issues. Maybe its in the way its designed that it is super sensitive to latency compared to other online games… not sure.
At this point I am really not sure what to do… maybe I will have an Alt character named Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night… with homes on the different servers and be semi restricted to only playing in those areas during those times of day because the unstable connection really does make the game unplayable.
Well it’s difficult to compare other games to Boundless. Other games make a connection to a server as close as possible to you (or perhaps I should say as best as possible for you since closest isn’t always the best) and then you play on that server all the time. Boundless hosts planets on servers, and those servers are located in 4 different locations around the world and if we go planet hopping we are bound to get onto a planet some time that isn’t so close to us…
Yup, its all good, not blaming the game, its a connection thing for sure. Maybe just the universe finding a way to get me to do other things the rest of the day and make Boundless a morning coffee type of thing for now. 
Idk if its my connection or the servers but ive had bad connection too and portals refusing to open (illegal protocol message) and taking forever in “analyzing world data”. This started like 3 weeks ago.
Yeah, it really seems like my really bad unstable connection issues started about 3 weeks ago as well.
