Hello everyone and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

The investigation that was conducted in the thread you are referring to came to the conclusion that the Data Center was not the cause of the issue you are describing. The issue stems from the route which your connection takes to reach the Data Center. This is something we unfortunately cannot control.

In regards to the nodes you are referring to, the lost packets represent information that is not returned to your computer. It's difficult to come to the conclusion that any one node is at fault based on a trace route alone.

It's an unfortunate situation and we wish there was an easy way to solve it, however, there is a limit to what we can do to assist.
