Join the large group of people complaining about lagspikes. There have been numerous thread about it in the technical support section. I'm still having issues with it, to the point that I took an almost week long break from it. Because I couldn't farm tomes or complete some quests that require me to fight something...

This.

You are by far not alone, a LOT of people are suffering from constant latency issues, making the game more or less unplayable, and the problem is at SE's hands, or rather their CA data centers.
This problem has lasted for soon two weeks, and for many its getting worse as time goes by.

At the moment 1.0 servers where a lot more stable which is realy sad considering 2.0 would have new server structure and all that.

Sure wish I had the average 190 that the OP has. My average if I'm not using my phones internet from peak internet usage hours on my base is about 675ms+ and my phones wifi tethering I get about 273-300ms. Hasn't stopped me from clearing Titan HM either, well using my phones internet that is.

Even if is good ping, why I still getting spikes? That's the question. Also, doesn't matetr to me if have 100 or 300 average, if game lag spike is unplayable even if you have 10 average! Also I'm not complaining about Titan, since I cleared it, I'm complaining about is impossible play now on evening, and is evening that friends start play.

I understand you're not complaining about Titan I'm just saying that calling it unplayable because of certain lag spikes is a bit over the top. I've personally have not noticed lag spikes on my server even when it's supposed to be peak play time/ramping up to be peak play time in the states. I'd maybe check your ethernet ports, maybe the cables are going bad that you have. Could even be something with your ISP if it's peak playing time in game it wouldn't be too far fetched that the ISP for your area is getting hit heavily too for internet usage in general. What type of internet do you use is another question. DSL your wiring might be going bad in your walls which can lead to having packet loss.

The problem you need to understand is this...(I'm bolding this not because I'm angry but to put attention to this part)

Everything worked fine for everyone from FFXIV 1.0 till FFXIV Beta->Early launch. The lagspikes suddenly appeared for tons of people out of nowhere and is only affecting FFXIV:ARR. Which again worked perfectly until a certain date.

I for one don't understand how it suddenly became an ISP issue when my and others people connection worked flawlessly. And I also don't understand why S-E isn't adressing the elephant in the room. It would be nice if they clearly stated what we should be doing to fix this issue. In my case, it even seems to be getting worse over time. The last few days, I had R0(lagspikes) that kept leading into d/c, rinse and repeat.

Sorry to hear that, I played 1.0 myself and had no issues and still have no issues outside of my bases internet itself. I'm curious to why it effects certain people and not others though. Am I saying there's no issue? No I'm just curious to why certain people are effected and others are not while playing on the same data center/servers. I always tend to assume that a small portion could be attributed to the users issues.
