I'm very glad I finally managed to get back in on the 4th of September after the maintenance, but it seems my relief was premature. I constantly get error 90000 whilst playing the game, at different intervals. Sometimes, it'll only be 5 minutes after logging in and other times, at least an hour after I've started playing. I didn't have this problem before the maintenance, probably because I didn't really get to play the game due to error 1017. Still, I'm glad one of the problems is fixed, some game is better than none.

ISP: RCN

Started on Monday September 2nd. Before that I had zero issues aside from the other errors.

Character: Minerva Rigauld
ISP: Shentel
Location: United States, Virginia
Occurrence: Pretty much consistently when I log on ever since Sept. 2nd.

Usually occurs 5-10 minutes after I start playing no matter what I do, then error 90000 pops. Large lag spikes 20-30 seconds long from that point onward. It seems its just this game that does this because none of my other online games or programs experience lag spikes and talking to a representative at the ISP, they reported no issues with my connection to their servers and that my modem was working properly. Rerouting through a VPN alleviates the issue but only temporarily.

I will again point out it is not our ISP's throttling but something on the side of SE's router connection in Montreal.

Bump on this because it's not our ISPs, its your montreal servers. My friend also plays from here and he doesn't have this problem on his account.

Location: United States

Country: United States (Idaho)
Occurence: All the time

It seems like every time I use the Duty Finder or when I am in a populated area the rubberbanding begins. It makes it impossible to learn fights like HM Titan when everything stops moving then speeds up into a nuke right on top of your head and you can't avoid it.

PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP.

Honestly, I assume there is multiple issues, and some on SE's side. I have been experiencing throttles yesterday and today. I'm talking about 20-30 second delays. This makes the game unplayable. Overall, excuse my language, but there has just been a lot of shit lag period. It got better after the scheduled down time, but it is STILL there. Constant lag on brand new slim PS3 in any populated area. Constant delays for skills and abilities which is just about in any zone. Throttles inside dungeons. No other game performs like this for me, just FF14.

I can't even DPS in a dungeon because of all the issues. I refuse to believe Verizon is the only culprit here, especially when COD performs fine and I maintain 30+ mbps, which is FAR beyond healthy for online gaming. I just don't get how servers are the issue here.
