Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

Finally some communication, even tho it didn't bring good news.

It seems to me that NTT is very much responsible, but since most of the traffic is AT&T they have some leverage. That's just how I'm reading this situation tbh.

Yup, this exact same thing happened a few years ago. It's clearly NTT when looking at Trace routes. It's even the same node as last time if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately Squenix probably doesn't have much recourse, despite being NTT's customer because NTT is enormous and FFXIV's US income is for NTT is probably equivalent to a rounding error for them. This is why Squenix probably wants us going through AT&T. They're also huge and probably have more pull. Unfortunately AT&T also doesn't care because it's not their infrastructure that's causing the problem and the amount of FFXIV players on their service isn't worth the effort to get someone to hassle NTT either.
