    So we can assume it's mainly a Sky/BT problem? Could it be some kind of throttle? My boyfriend only downloaded a 30GB worth of Elder Scrolls beta recently, but could we still be capped by the ISP?

    Im also having the same issues which meant i ended up with a piece of armor I didn't actually want in CT on Tuesday night due to excessive freezing on Acheron.

    My Boyf did a trace on our server (we are with Sky) and its looks like we are going through the Level3 hosting stateside which could be the connecting factor in all of these issues.... Willing to bet something to do with the update on server positioning Tues morning and its affecting any traffic that follows that trace route.

    We also tried WTF and we got 90ked out of our Coil run after a massive lag spike/screen freeze

    Sky/BT/Verizon FIOs and AT&T have been having issues with XIV lately. It's likely the hops taken.

    Whatever you do, don't elude to it being Sqenix's fault.
    And don't you dare complain when you have to pay for a VPN sub to play this MMO when you'll never have to do it for any other.

    Oh and zoom your camera out.

    VPNs only "directs" your connection better, SE doesn't run your ISP or control how they do their hops - so if a VPN fixes your issue, that means you need to talk with your ISP to see what's going on inbetween you/them and SE's datacenter.

    Fyi, while being sarcastic you forget to mention that lots of people actually have to use VPNs to access certain online games due to region lockouts.
