Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

ISP: Deutsche Telekom
Country: Germany
Occuring ever since the night from January 14th to January 15th, europe time. The night before was fine.
Rubberbanding and lag of up to 5 seconds. I used to have slight lag before 2.1, almost none after 2.1, and now it's close to unplayable.
Increasingly occurs in 8-man instances, not quite so bad in low-level content or the open world.
Have not raised the issue with my ISP.

And to think my subscription just renewed, too... so much wasted time and money.

- Sky
- England
- Always, since 14th Jan
- I raised the matter with sky, they claim it's 100% nothing on their part.

Isp - Sky
Country - England
Happening all day since 13th January

ISP - Optimum Online
Country - Long Island, NY
Happening about a week now, mainly in dungeons, 2-3s lag spike

ISP - Eastlink (currently using Eclipse 80Mbps/8Mbps) cable

Previous to the latest update I had no issues. Ping to Montreal was amazing and I didn't experience lag. Now I am constantly dealing with those darn 90000, 2002, 3102 errors again. The last 3 days have been the worst I've personally experienced. Doesn't matter the activity (crafting, talking to NPCs, participating in fates or off chocobo-riding for fun) happens in all zones at all times throughout the day. Very frustrating trying to play. I'm lucky if I can stay connected longer than a half an hour! Can't join duty or dungeons out of fear of dc'ing and forcing my party to boot me. Contacted ISP and tried all methods of suggested troubleshooting. Nothing has helped.

Still no response on this?? Step it up SE, my free trial to WTFast expires in 10 days, and without that proxy server the game is unplayable.

I just paid for a month on Pingzapper because of this.

The least SE could do is respond and tell us they are looking into it.

At least PC users have the "luxury" of Pingzapper/WTFast/Battleping...even though it takes away from your wallets. Poor PS3.

Century Link
United States
Heavy/Constant Outages at 17:00+ until early morning.
Symptoms are complete modem connection drop and automatic modem cycle.
Results in a range of 90000 errors.
No connection issues otherwise. FFXIV related only.
ISP refuses to acknowledge any event occurring. Refused to open a ticket. Went so far as to claim that the modem never cycles.
Even after asking them If that is the case then why why does it give a new IP and DNS route each time.
Call ended with canned response.

Not much I can do. They have a monopoly for internet in the area.

Time Warner Broadband
United States (Southwest Texas)
All day, every day
have not gotten them to admit to it (they claim there is nothing wrong)


get small short lag spikes every 15 to 30 seconds, continuously, that last for only a second or two.
today however, flat out 90k with a repeating 2002 error and unable to log back into the game.
