Been watching the nodes all morning from Midwest ATT. Right on schedule, around 11:30AM EDT, ping doubled from 60ms to 100-120ms with intermittent packet loss. Decided to spend my lunch break wading through ATT customer support. After they were done mucking around with my router, and allowing me to share trace routes, they watched my pings to 204.2.29.122 (FFXIV gateway server from SQEX's network issue report page) and confirmed the same thing I was seeing. Supposedly, their network engineers are aware of the peer-to-peer node with NTT and said their current timeline is 7-8 hours -- take that as you will though. 3 days for one bad node... I don't understand how two ISPs would take that long to fix that.

Partial Traceroute for the curious:

7 cgcil402igs.ip.att.net (12.122.132.197) 9.470 ms 17.816 ms 15.938 ms

11 ae-4.a00.scrmca03.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.7.57) 104.897 ms 118.354 ms 108.629 ms

13 204.2.29.241 (204.2.29.241) 108.414 ms * *

You can see its always the node 129.250.7.57 that's locking everything up.
