The problem seems to be with one of the servers that your data travels through between your ISP and SE's servers. Seeing as 'VPN' solutions such as Pingzapper and WTFast fix the problem, there must not be an issue with the SE servers (the problems would still exist even when using these tools).

Also seeing as it's just the FF14 connection that is affected (and not anything else internet related) there isn't an issue with the ISPs connections (such as Sky and any others reported).

So while neither SE or Sky/other ISPs are solely to blame, they do need to provide a solution as the route they have set up for their data to travel between each other is faulty. This also explains why not all ISPs are being affected, as different ISPs would have their data travel via different routes.

(This is my current understanding of it, at least.)

pingzapper does not "fix" my latency problems, and in fact this last 6 hour update on the 21st has INCREASED my latency even using pingzapper.

titan Extreme is my main beef with SE, such restrictive mechanics that they suck the fun out of the game.

a challenge is one thing, but titan just sucks, period.

edit: read some forum tech issues: i've decided that at the end of my current subscription, if SE hasnt fixed these issues, they're not getting any more of my money.
