For Those with Time Warner Cable( Lag Issue)

[Valkrist]

Is 199.91.189.74 the IP that should be tracert-ed? I'm playing through TWC in CA and the game's unplayable for the most part. 8 am to about 10 am the game's fine. Then from 10 am to about 3 am the game's lagging to the point of 25 second lag. The game during beta was fine for us. Even directly after maintenance the game runs perfectly. It's just all the other times (which is always) the game is lagging beyond control.

I just chose the option to search by ping, then chose top choice.

Ahh cool, I went from around 110ms to 85ms. Definitely a large improvement but damn man for 12mo its $100. For 1 month it's $10. I dont want to pay more money for something for one game simply because SE has a poor setup...it just doesn't seem justifiable.

[Arasiel]

I'm going to use the free month and maybe pay one more, if i still really enjoy FFXIV after that then I will prolly pay an additional of WTFast but hopefully lag is fixed before too long.

I'm living in NC with TWC aswell and I having been lagging pretty much the 2 months I've been playing. People around me will run for a moment and then stop then they will shoot forward 1-2 seconds later. I downloaded WTFast and it seems to have helped tremendously although rarely I do still sometimes see the rubberbanding action. Thing is though I don't have any plans of paying for WTFast and would like to have a better fix.

[Levauron]

Same issue here..I am in charlotte, nc as well.....I wonder if we can atleast have some indication on wether SE is looking in to the issue?

I've been suffering from this issue since the release. I got Battleping about a week after release and have used it ever since. I haven't had a lag issue ever since and get constantly aggravated when people in my FC complain about lag. Get a VPN. It solved all my issues in this game as well as WoW.

I like TWC, but their routing seems atrocious for some MMOs

[Gothmog]

TWC isn't going to help much with this issue TBH, especially if it's more than one company away from their nodes, and most of the time they'll stop support after theirs. I've ended up using a VPN which has pretty much fixed the issue for me.

I also live in Los Angeles & have TWC. I don't know all the tech language for this issue, but it's been plaguing me for at least 2 weeks now as well. It's made the game unplayable for me as well. If it wasn't for me playing as a SCH & having a fairy around, those 4-5 second lag spikes would have made for quite a few dead tanks. I'm gonna try Battleping or WTFast in the mean time but I hope whatever this issue is gets repaired soon. This is ridiculous.

LOL SMH I don't know if i should be happy or sad that this is a common issue for people using TWC as ISP. Guess the problem wasn't my roommates torrenting...... Upgraded to Ultimate internet service for nothing hahaha. I'm going to download WTFast right now, will come back with update

I live in Gardena CA (Pretty much Los Angeles)
