FPS abruptly drops to 0, connection issues?

    I'm at about 10mbps down and 1.5mbps up, rest of my system information in my signature, and I cannot figure out why whenever I'm playing the game my fps abruptly decides to drop to 0 and I freeze for a few seconds. I can live with the low fps I already get (usually 10-20) in heavy combat situations, but it is frustrating when I run into a room to get a jump on the enemy, see them on my screen and suddenly I'm at 0 fps and unable to control anything, and by the time I recover after a few seconds I'm already dead.

    I have no interest in being a free kill in a situation I should've had a tactical advantage in. If anyone knows a fix for this let me know, I've already tried forwarding the planetside 2 server ports to no avail. I otherwise don't lag, and while my fps drops to 0 my friends can clearly see me tweaking out as though I've got bad connection when it happens.
