Anyone else in Perth (or anywhere in Aus) get nighttime lag?

Hey everyone,

This has been happening for a few weeks now.
It's probably just my ISP (TPG is utterly useless), but I'm just curious if anyone else in Aus gets lag at nighttime.

This has happened to me everyday for the last 2-3 weeks without fail. All cases happening around 5-6pm, and continuing until morning.

During the day, I get a perfect connection, and am able to dodge AoE without any trouble.
Nighttime is a completely different story.
Players warping around, being hit by AoE long after I'm out of it, combos not activating etc. etc.

It's....barely playable at the best of times.

Just curious, this happen to anyone else?

I'm in Perth too (with Telstra) and I find on Ridill the connection sometimes rubberbands between about 5pm to 1am Perth time (which is only an hour behind Japan time incidentally) - because Ridill is a JP server, it's not hard to see that time period would be therefore 'peak times' - people are coming home from work and school and decide to unwind by playing FFXIV. Sunday evenings particularly seem to the worst time for this, but it varies.

tpg tends to have 15% packet loss if your routing through melbourne. its not effecting any other aus internet provider except there even if playing on jp server

Im in brisbane also with TPG and I've actually noticed quite often in the evenings, we'll start getting random dc's and lag when everything was fine up until that point.

Sounds like your average high use time with a crappy ISP. As in they don't have good enough equipment to support all their customer's at peak usage times.

yeah but like i said melbourne has a 15% packet lost for tpg sometimes but this mostly occurs at night and i know brisbane tpg routing goes through that hub and it doesnt effect other aus internet providers by what i noticed

I get a random severe lag around 7.15pm or so. I am based in Sydney, and I am with TPG too. I don't know if I'm normal, but I am 4.2km away from the nearest exchange, so my speeds sync at a maximum speed of 3 Mb/s.

TPG is nearly unplayable for me. I have an issue where if I Alt + Tab out of the FFXIV game window (I play Windowed Mode), ie. it's not the active screen, there is a high chance I get 90k'ed.

Really frustrated as well.

Some of my friends in Perth have been experiencing this recently too. In QLD, on Telstra, I haven't been having any issues.

same TPG in Sydney night-time lag like everyone in my PT stop move for 30- 40 sec and then everyone in my PT fast forward like. i want my NBN!!

Seems like it's TPG users o_o funny because I've been with Optus (worst ever) and telstra (not as bad but still pretty bad) and TPG has been amazing in comparison (aside from those few months my old roommate was permanently torrenting something eating up all the bandwidth without telling us making us think TPG was crap)
