I downloaded WTFast. Any suggestions on the proper setting if I live in Los Angeles?

I just chose the option to search by ping, then chose top choice.

Ahh cool, I went from around 110ms to 85ms. Definitely a large improvement but damn man for 12mo its $100. For 1 month it's $10. I dont want to pay more money for something for one game simply because SE has a poor setup...it just doesn't seem justifiable.

I'm going to use the free month and maybe pay one more, if i still really enjoy FFXIV after that then I will prolly pay an additional of WTFast but hopefully lag is fixed before too long.

I'm living in NC with TWC aswell and I having been lagging pretty much the 2 months I've been playing. People around me will run for a moment and then stop then they will shoot forward 1-2 seconds later. I downloaded WTFast and it seems to have helped tremendously although rarely I do still sometimes see the rubberbanding action. Thing is though I don't have any plans of paying for WTFast and would like to have a better fix.

I am in the Same boat as you. I live in NC and i use TWC and for the past 3 weeks or month i have been getting some lag spikes. its only around .5 sec to a sec lag spike but its enough to make it so i cannot raid.

Going to try WTFast and we'll see how it goes!

In WTF, click on the Manage Settings buttons and enabled chained servers. For the servers, select the Los Angeles (Choose Best) for server #1 and then Toronto ON1 for server #2.

WTFast isn't working for me :( But I think I know where TWC is failing me after doing a bunch of tracerts. The gateway for my modem is experiencing anything from 600-3000ms response times, everything else it pretty normal. *sigh*

I guess I'll give twc a call.

wow i am using WTFast as i am typing and i can say this worked for me. the lag spikes are completely gone. i will use this service for the time being at least until SE does something about it. the lag didn't exist before the patch they implemented about 3 weeks ago.

I use TWC in NC.
