Good luck, appears they don't care.

My thread was one of those.

Had to think of my own solution. I used a VPN in the past for wow when it had issues with time warner. Just tried one for ARR and it is AMAZING. 0 lag issues now.

I highly suggest anyone looking for an immediate fix to try out Battleping...

Well, I don't have the mentioned hop on my trace but I have started having random disconnection problems after the September 3 server maintenance. I had no disconnection problems prior to that date, when I could connect to the server. My problem mostly manifests when doing dungeons where I get lag spikes where everyone stops moving for 10-15 seconds then everything updates and will be fine for a few more minutes where it will do it again. Sometimes the lag will last longer and that is normally when I will get disconnected.

In normal play, I do disconnect (mostly in primetime hours) but I don't have the lag spikes like I do in the dungeons.

Here is my tracert:

Bumping thread.

Right there with you with RCN, tiscali.net, and many, many 90000's.

So, I have no idea why or how, but my lag has gone away. After a week of it constantly, it has finally gone away. Both times I logged in today, I was lag free. The only thing I can think that I've done differently from some of you here is that I posted in the Technical Support section of the Japanese forums, in Japanese. I live in Japan, and my ISP is through OCN / NTT Flets Hikari, but I had contacted them and was told the problem was on Square-Enix's end, so I'm confused as to how this got worked out. I'm not sure what this means, but here it is. Make of it what you will. If the lag comes back or I get 90000 errors again, I'll be sure to post about it.

OK, I get this problem too. I'll point out again that while I can't play the game at all, my girlfriend plays on the same connection with no problems.

This thread seems to be indicating that the problem may be arising from outside of SE. Being PTP instead of FTP does not enable SE to control the internet between you and them.
