Steps I've taken to resolve this:

1) Stopped all extraneous programs from running in the background, performing a Clean Boot.
2) Changed Internet Explorer settings as indicated in a previous post.
3) Verified FFXIV and all related programs were white-listed in my system's firewall.
4) Reset my modem/router.
5) scoured this Forum for any indication of a "fix", or an admission of server issues and have found nothing.

My ping is still high enough to cause audio lag, graphic lag, and I can only imagine this problem will continue into peak hours where I will be forced to not play the game.

In the last remaining week before Shadowbringers drops, I have a to-do list that I am unable to complete. Please, for the love of all that is /ac "Holy" help me fix this problem.
Have you tried using a free VPN to see if the issue is resolved that way?

If it begins to work, you can narrow it down.
