nah it's not because you're on a US based server (or canada in this case), seems alot of dutchies who have kpn as their provider were pretty muched screwed on latency since this week.

- No ref number

Ping constantly between Send 0-400 and Receive 400 to 4500.

ISP: TeleTu
Country: Italy
Occurance: Since always, starting from 12pm to 12am. It's impossible to play. I have this problem in almost every MMO I've tried.

You know what? Why are we doing this?

Yoshi has said that the increase in load is going to cause lag. Why are you asking us for this information and pointing the finger at ISP if this is the case and for most of us it's started as of the update?

ISP: OCN NTT
Residence: Japan
Occurance: All day every day since Sep 2nd.

ISP: Canal Digital
Country: Norway
Time: always

ISP: Verison FIOS
Country: USA, Northern Virginia
Seems like the whole game is playing "red light, green light", with occasional 90k's.
First noticed Sept. 5, has been constantly happening ever since. Looking through this thread, seems like I'm not the only Northern Virginia/Maryland FIOS customer to have this issue. Has anyone tried calling them?

Lag started around the last patch update when the new worlds launched. Was not able to log into the game often prior, so not sure if that is related. Lag spikes for 10-15 seconds, then the client rushes to catch up, often after my party has already been wiped.
Often, the lag results in a party member in an instance becoming invisible to me, unable to target them for healing,

I have extreme delays when doing alot of activities such as crafting/gathering. Also I was tanking in a dungeon and the whm died because my game just stopped and then it all caught up with eachother and the party was dead. Its pretty much constant not so much a from time to time sort of thing. I only notice it though when I am doing something like stated above which is 99% of the game. This needs a fix quickly, not sure whether its Square enix's end or our ISPs hmm.

Edit - Also like the above post states I also had an issue of not being able to see/target party members inside a dungeon.

problem started before patch..... if u r not posting ur info please don't post here don't need ur 2 cents. As an IT u look Everywhere if u can't figure it out.

I have already put in my information. I just wanted to add.
VPN may work.
However this problem only just started recently. Beta and early access was fine.
In addition to this the problem started right before the patch, however I'm sure it is possible that they were doing things in the background. They've done maintenance while we played many times.

So what really is the problem? Should I go to my ISP again and beg them to let the game through? Would anyone have any advice on this?

DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.

Connected to server 203.5.76.153.

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 234 Kbps.( our upload has always sucked but have played wow for 6 years with latency below constant 100ms)
Downstream: 7855 Kbps.

The measurement will take upto 3.0 minutes. Please wait.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 224 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 7728 Kbps.

I am also waiting for not only an email response but also a Phone call from the local service tech. Will update once i hear back from them. told by several reps as well as the local tech here in town that shentel does not throttle or cap bandwidth in my area (sometimes its nice to live in a small town)

Reference Number: 13785234327307

ISP : RCN, united states
Location: NYC, NY
Time: the first 10 minutes is fine , then it will encounter 90000error code problem
duration is about 10miuntes per 90000 error

I'm lucky when i can stay connected for more then 15min without getting erreur 90000. I can't get in duty finder cause i get dc most of time before i can pop in. So that mean i'm stuck at lvl 18 cause i cant complete the Story quest line. At launch i got the 90000 followed by 3102 so i couldnt play for 3 days and then after they fixed the 3102 the 90000 keep on kicking me out of the game. My friend doesnt have that problem and i uninstalled 3 times to reinstalled it making sure everything was properly done and still doesnt change anything. I think i did my part so now DO YOURS!!!
