Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

Yeah I'm using a VPN but we shouldn't have to use a VPN to play a game we already pay a sub for.

I check every day before I turn the VPN on and it's still consistently high latency and packet loss on the same schedule.

I stopped being lazy and took the time to set up an AWS ec2 instance as a proxy for FFXIV yesterday. I cannot believe I have to do this again to fix a connection issue with a game, but whatever.

Honestly confused why or what they block. From my research they only block ports that spammers abuse.

I’m not really sure myself. I know they don’t like you tampering with their equipment and they have something in their routers that blocks you from putting a VPN on the router itself. And when I tried creating a bridge to use my laptop for a LAN connection to use the VPN on my laptop I couldnt do it but my friend who has a different ISP was able to do it.

Weird. The password to mine is right on the back and I can do whatever I want in it. I run all sorts of in-home servers and even a Plex server too.

I'm going to open yet another support ticket with SE. Not that I expect anything to come of it, but I figure I can at least be a continual support issue for them if they're going to continue to refuse to acknowledge the issue and bounce us back and forth to AT&T. What a joke of a situation.

Unfortunately as others pointed out it seems all we can do is speak with our wallets. My sub was due to renew next week and I cancelled. Placing another ticket just got SE to tell me to check my ethernet cable despite referencing this post.

Could it be we have different models? I’ve had fiber pretty much since they started rolling it out so maybe my router is older? I don’t know a whole lot about this stuff to be honest and I could have definitely messed up somewhere, but my friend walked me through it and he works in IT so I trust he knows what he’s doing

Well, we're 10 days in now with absolutely no relief. Either the parties involved dont care or they are not competent enough to deal with the problem. RIP
I'm just so happy that we have new content that we can't play!

Honestly, I *never* expected them to fix it before 6.4 dropped. Understandably, their focus was on getting the patch out. Now that the patch is out, no more excuses. This should be next on the "get fixed" list. There's so many people who *can't play your new content* Square....

Two weeks without lag relief. Posting to support this thread. 8 days till my sub is donzo
