I'm using Cox, but we don't get emails from them, just regular mail. Haven't noticed anything though.

Na. I'm using charter and have the problem. It seems to be a major DDOs attack on all ISP in the US it seems. And then some...

My question now is, is it ok to be using WTFast or VPNs in the first place? If not then I would rather just wait this out.

I just used WTFast and picked a UK network route and got in with no issues.

To rephrase my question, I mean is it ok in accordance to the TOS. This isn't something we would know upon first use. If there is no clear answer then it may be best to wait.

My Husband and I both just bought this game earlier this week on the advice of some friends after trying the free trial.

We're both disappointed that we cannot get in tonight as we're really enjoying the game.

Actually, this is a very rare, and very odd occurrence. Happens much less here than with some other MMOs that shall not be named.

Am on cox as well as my brother. We both are having issues connecting to our main characters. However we both are able to make chars on other NA servers and connect without issue. I know Cox they have been nerfing monthly quotas slowly and I did hear a rumor next month they are going to start charging for data overages but pretty sure that is unrelated to this... When I tether my phone to my laptop I am able to connect fine though. So while it may be an issue with COX, I don't think the issue is cox specifically since I can get on different servers just not the main char I usually play. It's honestly just weird. Du Du du du (X files song)

Me too! Working on an audit for eleven hours today, and just looking forward to coming home to play FF with the hubby. :(

There's talk of it being a DDoS attack on the ISPs. I just did some reading up on the "Mirai botnet". Scary stuff.
