Gave up on playing today...

I will now lodge a ticket with square :/ and refer them to this page.

BT/Orange/EE is indeed treating this game as a P2P client and severely crippling our ability to play this game during peak times.
I have not had this problem with other games apart from Rift, but that was fixed.

The results of a Glasnot test I just performed (http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/):

Is your download traffic rate limited?

Your ISP appears to rate limit your downloads.

Details:
* Your ISP appears to rate limit your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests, downloads using control flows achieved up to 7978 Kbps while downloads using BitTorrent achieved up to 9 Kbps.

* Your ISP appears to rate limit downloads on port 6881. In our tests, downloads on port 6881 achieved up to 7978 Kbps while downloads on port 59978 achieved up to 9 Kbps.

Ive given up for the night, its unplayable and frustrating even trying. Note this isnt through SE's doing.

My ISP (Virgin) throttles heavily too, but NOT FFXIV (luckily), the fact that ISP's are still legally allowed to do this shit is disgusting anyway.

I think it's a large oversight. BT is probably by far the biggest ISP in the UK, to not contact them to put them of the P2P list is a bit of a big deal.

Thoroughly disheartened now...

Contacted all i can contact. I guess ill go play something else.

If it doesnt get fixed after a week though, I guess ill be asking for a full refund

Same problem throughout beta and now into launch.

This should be pretty simple to resolve, no?

Im on a rampage now lol, ive sent messages to EE/BT via their FB and Twitter pages, also twittered @FF_XIV_EN making them aware theres players with a problem. Done all i can now i think
Kitsunami, the problem isnt on Square Enix's side, its BT/EE who are at fault.

The issue with RIFT was they decided to change their port ranges at launch, after having it working fine through all the betas.
Have Square made some sudden changes to how the game is operating for early access?
