Since this is outside the Verizon network, Verizon wont/cant do anything for me, and since its not server related (to the best of my knowledge) I'm not sure what SE can do.

Why is it happening now? Ive stated this in the tech help forums, the only network change in the 2.1 patch notes that I saw was an increase in the server position checks in dungeons, perhaps this triggered a change in how level3 treats the ff14 traffic. Pure speculation on my part.
It's had a very specific start date for me, it started this Tuesday.

I've had lag problems before, being based in Europe and all, but managed to tweak my settings so that I didn't have them anymore (can dodge anything). This isn't the same. Even when I had lag problems before, it was simply a case of seeing things later than everyone else and my position not updating in time to dodge things. Now, the whole raid stops for 5-10 seconds before catching up in high speed.
