It's still bad, and continues to be bad daily.

Yeah my group's been getting shit on tonight trying to do M2S and my BLM and PLD keep DCing due to the DDoS. When is XIV going to do something about this? Because it's kinda ridiculous that they're being disrupted almost on the daily now since normally they would've already dealt with it.

Another Comcast user here. Still bad. So frustrating.

Re-posting due to having issues with connectivity to this game once again, since yesterday. My ISP is also Comcast. I've run a couple tracert's throughout the night and it seems to be the 10th and 12th node consistently that have issues for me. I have not tried combat, but I have been disconnected at least once per hour while trying to quick synth or relax at my house.

I will share this information via the support portal as well.

My VPN no longer reliably fixes this node/routing issue since a week ago. The game becomes unplayable around ~10PM and/or 1AM+ EST every night. It's the same crap I experienced since June 2023.
I'm really enjoying endgame stuff and I really want to learn another ultimate, but my playtime is usually around these hours so I can't do any of that.
Very frustrating. I'm tired of messing with VPNs just to play this game that I'm already paying a subscription for.

Suddenly getting very bad lag again out of no where. 8pm EST
