PS3 Issues since Jan. 27th Maintenance

I'm making another thread as I don't think the ISP problem is affecting me, and the issue only came in after this specific maintenance.

I'd like to know if players who don't usually experience lag are having trouble now, since I'm not exactly the best example.

To review my problem:
Ever since the end of the beta test, my lag has steadily worsened, and I experience extreme lag, freezes short and long, disappearing enemies, ignored command inputs, and the occasional 90k/2002. About a month ago I quit the game as all content was essentially inaccessible, with even crafting or gathering taking two to four times as long to complete as the average player.

My conclusion was that it was my console, with my other ps3 friends not seeing as many issues. Before quitting, I eliminated all UI objects unnecessary to play for my class (most fighting content I play DRG, so no party list/etc), disabled flying text, cleared out my console's cache, and even reset the router several times. While this reduced the trouble for a short while, eventually even that didn't allow for me to play smoothly.

I came back to the game on Saturday, Jan 25th, in order to participate in an event I wasn't sure would come again, so that whenever I picked up the PS4 (which hopefully will clear up problems though I'm waiting to hear from those who buy it first) I could still have updated items. To my surprise I didn't lag at all despite having a small update to download from when I was gone. Low level, high level, HM primals, and the CT raid all went extremely smoothly. I was finally able to run the dungeons necessary to gear up for my level and enjoy the game again.

And yet, though my problems looked to be completely resolved, all my other friends seemed to be experiencing moderate to heavy lag where I did not at all.

I was apprehensive about the upcoming maintenance session, as they always seem to bring more trouble, and as expected I'm now experiencing the same lag I did a month ago. My friends seem to have gone back to normal, though they do experience some fate problems. Even though my console is old and certainly needs upgrading, if I was able to play so smoothly, is it possible something on SE's side is what has been causing me trouble? I've called my ISP before and SE before, but both directed me to the other. Considering all else that I've done, I feel I'm out of options.

Is there nothing to be done? Has anyone else seen similar trouble?

This is in regards to a bug that apparently is happening to many people in all servers
Bug: Entering a instances then being kicked before it starts and then unable to log back in because game doesnt log out your character from instance-error 90000
This is not a problem with connection this is a bug.. for me it started after Jan 21 hotfixes but others started after big patch, I have never had any problems with this game before Jan 21. I see the minion animation bug has been fixed and ty.. but to pay for a service that cannot be played.. sure I can log in do fates, craft, chat, but as soon as I try to enter any instances the dreaded 90000 error.. now I know at least 3 people who have left game for this reason and seen prolly 50 people on my server have the same issue.. I have proof in the form of other players this bug kicks you then keeps you logged into game so you cannot log back in for hours sometimes days. Julius Maximus and Blood Star, Dylan Weaver, Rikku Moon, my whole fc and many others I could list have seen this bug affect me and others. I have played this game with no problems from the beginning this all seemed to start around Jan 21 for me anyways. I have also read in the forums many others stating this problem so I would hope you intend to rectify this problem. I have lost close to 2 weeks of game play, my static coil groups as well as beast tribe points, myth drops, etc that I will never be able to gain back.. its very disheartening to fall behind in game play when im a very active playing spending at least 5 hours a day on this game. I have had to play other MMO'S and games due to this 90000 error and am asking myself whether I should cancel my subscription with SE because to pay for a service that cannot be used seems wrong. I know this is a issue as I have read about it in hotfix problems and forums , Ive even had a moderator say it has already been brought to your attention, but fact is many people are having this problem and even leaving the game.. which I do not want too do as I love the game and have puts so much time into it its not even funny, but I cant play. I had 2 days free of this bug and thought wow its fixed but sigh it is not... please instead of updating and adding content focus on things like these errors people are having, dedicated players who are being turned off game. Like I said I love this game, it an amazing game that ive had no problem with since launch until recent, but there is a limit of errors to how much anyone can tolerate. Thank you

-this only affects my main character!!!!

Character: Lilium Syntt
World:Zalera
Bug :90000 disconnect from instances/game lock out
Time: ANytime instance entered
Frequency:Constant
Job/Class: Summoner
Party or Solo: Both

I'm pretty sure that if you start experiencing issues after an update, it's your configuration data that's somehow the cause. Take a look at the bizzaro problems I briefly experienced @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo4GqlpRnos. I Tried to document it best I could.

To reiterate. I'm on the same boat.
