    Aaaaand, this is the other possible wrench in the works. The assumption I've been reading throughout is that the problem is primarily that of PC players, as opposed to yet another possible culprit being PSN. So, how about it? Are all of you folks who posted earlier PC players or PS4 players?

    Both. I've also moved, so I have experienced PS3 and PS4 with the Montreal location (in Ohio), and PS4 and PC with the California location (New Jersey). Two different ISPs, as well - Time Warner/Spectrum (Ohio) and Comcast (New Jersey).

    I had infrequent trouble with Level-3 in Ohio, though it did rear its head from time to time. Usually when it did I was done for the entire night; lasted for hours. They relocated the server several weeks before I moved, wherein I noticed - obviously - the increased ping, but was also pretty much instantly subjected to just a poorer quality connection all around. There wasn't a time I didn't have "Excellent" displayed with Level-3/Montreal, but very frequently with NTT/California I'd get "Good" and nothing else. Multiple disconnects per week, especially inside PvP, and every night would be some level of latency BS. Some better than others. The only positive thing I can say is that, unlike with Level-3, the later into the evening it got the less noticeable the problems became.

    I have constant trouble with NTT in New Jersey, and some extra ping relative Ohio for good measure (not unexpected, but that's two increases for me within, say, 6 months). Unless I'm playing in the morning/afternoon I can expect to have an awful time, amusingly moreso inside instances than outside. There are times I can be in the housing ward and do rotations and such just fine on a striking dummy, but the moment I hop into an instance it all goes to hell. Doesn't matter if it's a PvE or PvP instance, nor whether it's a dungeon, a trial or a raid.

    Also fun fact: Once you're in the game you can get disconnected from PSN and it won't boot you from the game or otherwise affect your connection unless you need to re-authenticate the launcher.
