From my understanding based on some news (i can't find the new post now) and reading on other forums. This is not a problem that SE can do much about besides complain to the ISP, because it's a problem with the ISPs routing and/or throttling.

I have a similar problem at work, with our own hosted servers. Every now and the i'm unable to access the servers because something is going wrong with a switch belong to my ISP not anything to do with our servers.

This is the nature of the internet. If this is really the first time you guys have run across this. I'll be amazed.

Apologies first of all as I'm not all good with this kind of thing, but are you saying that essentially since it's not an issue with SE, it's something we should be complaining to our ISP (i'm with Virgin Media) about? and if worse comes to the worst, SE kindly complain to our ISP and nothing is done, our best bet is to change our ISP?

You wont have to change ISP, becuase the game is new and most ISP's use a sandvine system for automated throttling. the ISP's just need to update the detection ruless.

When you look at the fact there are few who have the ISPs in this thread. while others in the same area as you who are on a different ISP who don't have the problem. It's clear on who is at fault.

How can it be the isp, so many ppl from so many countries with so many different isp's sudden get this issue after the update, so all those different isp's in all those different countries suddenly decided all at the same time to start throttling?

And then only cousin this issue in ffxiv? not in any other mmo? Not logical. if you read all the posts from ppl that have investigated this, incl. my self you will see that there is one cimularety for all of us: te0-4-0-3.ccr21.ymq02.atlas.cogentco.com - No response from host

I am having similar issues since the patch. Even when fighting a single mob my screen will freeze for 5-20 seconds then everything will catch up. I am unable to progress in the game because of the issues.
