OP, it could also be your side and not the server. The developers can't do anything about a client issue. Like your computer might have something troubling the SWTOR client as it is running or that.
I don't think the connection is an issue in this game though. It's not like there is a Titan Extreme mode (FFXIV) in this game where lag is an issue.
OP, if it helps, try to bring your responsiveness up. It helps with the general dialogue between your computer and server to move a bit faster.
