[Dev response requested] Unplayable lag since the hotfixes

[ReplicaX]

Yes, because the countless "I'm using Verizon and seem to have issues" on here as well as other forum communities is just..assuming it's verizon - I mean, clearly there's no common factor in people with "unplayable lag" lately.

Verizon issues not confined to a specific area, but across the USA. All having different routing, except the destination > Ormuco.

[Maintenance] Notice of Network Maintenance (Dec. 26)
At the following time, network maintenance will be performed by the internet service provider for the North American/European data center.

Looks like an assumption by you to me.

Yep, it's not "confirmed" yet the common factor seems to be Verizon - Why is it not affecting everyone that conects to an NA/EU Datacenter then? You're making an assumption by stating it can't actually be verizon, despite there being quite a lot of people using verizon that's having unplayable lag.

It's ok though, it can never be a problem outside of SE, we get that. This reminds me when a large portion of Comcast users couldn't properly stay connected to FFXI for a few weeks yet no one immediately thought it could be SE's ISP, funny how that works.

Incase you were wondering, it was indeed Comcast having issues connecting to Hawaii and Japan at the time.

Fios here as well, and was getting horrible lag freezes last night. Never happened before the 24th fix/update.

Or Ormuco can have equipment issues/upgrades or changes from rerouting that can effect only certain connection types. This isn't uncommon at all in the gaming or network world.

As I stated previously, it's confirmed on my end, for me. Via my own net logs and a Verizon tandem/routing op. That Ormuco was causing all my packet loss and not Verizon or any other company's network for my route.

My assumption is at least based on findings. The fact that most FiOS customers had no issues until the recent hotfix/server changes and all of the sudden Ormuco performed network maintenance last night when the complaints came flying in.

and it was extended, but its over now.

Whats the word after the fix last night? Anyone still having problems?

I have Fios as well. Been having lag freezes since the hotfix. Mostly in CT and in congested areas. Also, while crafting there are delays in actions. I tried to craft in a zone that was relativity empty and it still happens. This was never an issue before this hotfix.

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions...

SE had their own ISP network maintenance. Looking at my netlog from the 25th and 26th and being a Verizon FiOS customer, the issue isn't even coming from Verizon for me. I get all my packet loss from Ormuco nodes, which is SE's ISP in Montreal.

Thus it would be SE's problem in my case, not my ISP.

You are correct. The problem lies with SE's upstream provider for their datacenter, not the user-end.

I'm stuck at work, unfortunately. Would like to know as well if its resolved the issues.

I've run four CTs this morning and all seems smooth so far.
Hopefully will be able to raid tonight since we've been holding it off all week because of the lag and screen freezes.
