A response needs to be demanded by everyone from SE

A ping packet is 32 bytes big and looks in no way like a P2P packet so of course it's not filtered.
Your ISP can filter P2P, lower your bandwidth, both. Even if they tell they aren't check your contract. Whatever they say by phone means nothing until there is something written.

Ok, but if my P2P was being filtered wouldn't I notice it in the most obvious way, torrenting? At peak hours I can download any torrent with a decent seed ratio at speeds upwards of 5MB/s. Streaming videos all play fine at 1080p. I am noticing literally no loss of speed or having corrupted downloads; the only issue is this specific game. There is also a thread with almost 80k views and over 1000 people posting the same issue.

Then open a console and tracert the server IP and see where it takes more ms to reply. If it's outside of SE's datacenter it's not like they can raid other companies if these don't fix their own issues. The only option is to move the datacenter but even then someone will complain because the route tables will be fixed for you but broken for someone else.

I have the same issue, much so. the game spikes so hard it's unbearable. I find it surprising for a game that suffered such a defeat with 1.0 have not found a way to beat something as simple as latency issues. there are currently more than 1 milion players running FFXIV ARR and i refuse to pay subscription until the issue is resolved. i believe more people will think like me. i dont buy a broken car, why would i buy a broken game?

SE needs to step up, its been going like this since launch and tbh im sick and tired of it.

i know they have a thread up where we're supposed to jot down our ISP etc etc. well... you have about 1000 people whos done it so far. you should have taken steps towards fixing it. aswell as giving the cusotmers some matter of feedback as to where you are in the process!
