People still think there is something good on Television in the world of today? :c
I kid.... maybe.... :x
I'm pretty much in the same boat. If there's no response then I'll be done with the game when my month subscription runs out in a few weeks.
They advertise what you can get, but you have to take your location into consideration when dealing with providers, since it can make a difference for your actual received performance in terms of internet speeds. I'd still contact them though, since that difference is pretty large.
Ummm, you do know that FFXIV uses less the 5 kBps (that's 0.039 Mb/s) upload while playing right? Hell, downloading is less then 10 kBps, and that's only in very crowded areas with lots of people doing something. People can just stop posting their D/U speed tests because it just does not matter in playing this game. Anyone on a broadband connection, by definition, has more then enough bandwidth to handle this game.
Your connection quality for this game is going to come from your ping to server (not the ping you get from some local speed test), packet loss, and jitter.
Exactly. I didn't have any of this shitty lag until they added new servers a month ago. Before that the game was great. Even during the awful release week where we had issues logging in, once in the game I had no lag issues, and I've played with both WoW and FF14 open with my same 1Mbps upload with no problems.
But let me say this again because I know people don't like to read much:
my lag issues started when more servers were added a month ago, before that the game was great even during the awful release week, so please stop asking to run speedtest, nothing else lags but FF14 and TWC is horrible and I wish I could get FIOS, but it's not available on my neighborhood for some dumb reason.
Also, I have 12 days left in my subscription, so things better get fixed withing the next two weeks or I'll have to kiss my catgirl goodbye for the following months. :( I really want to play this game, but this horrible costumer service and apparent inability to fix this problem any time soon just turns me off.
