Lag seems zone based, or local population based

I can see some relation here, i was in an other sector to get some sand it already was lagging badly n my home sector.
where i got my sand it was bearabel, the lag, i died on the way home and when i had to respawn i got stuk with loading entities for a long time.
When i finally got in my ping said 0 and no way i could play, looked like i had no contact with server.

I tend to believe that lag has to do something with location.

I have consistently lag of about 10 seconds when passing a certain spot in zone 777, note that the spot is not heavily populated but in the mountains.
