Network issues

[Sukasaroth]

Currently posting from my iphone because i cannot log in from my home internet. I was afk in port jeuno amd dc\\'d while away i cannot log back in due to a pol-1160 network error. I can do everything on the internet but play ffxi. Im frustrated because all my linkshell mates can log in except myself. This happens frequently but this is he longest occurance. I live in the detroit michigan area so im assuming this is server related and not my connection. Please help me out.

Also my friend who lives a few miles from me is also experience the same problem so its definately not my internet.

Hoping it`s not the same problem that last month. Having network issues here also, living near Montreal Quebec Canada, got d/c as well while grabbing food. Can difficulty get to FFXI menu and cant get to the selection character menu..

Getting all the lovely time out error messages, the one I got that I hadn't seen before however was ffxi-3113 protocol time out error. and I live in England.
So there is some sort of problem server side considering my net is running fine.
It's worse than when I had to upgrade my router just so ffxi would work again.
What's the fix SE?

Its not just pol its the linkshell community and the square enix account website, im really getting angry because i pay 12.95 for something i cant even play! FIX YOUR CRAP

In North Carolina and using Centurylink DSL. I'm getting horrible lag/command delay and R0 along with POL-1160 errors and AH/Search failures. I'm not seeing any issues with other games, websites, streaming video, etc.

I've restarted my PC, DSL router, and my wireless router (which I'm actually connected to through Ethernet cable). It has no effect.
