What's causing FiOS users to get so much lag since 2.1?

**KamikazeMan** · 12-31-2013 07:34 AM

Has a rep responded to this yet? I've seen some FiOS users complaining about it here and on another site. I'm not saying lag is exclusive to FiOS users, but those of us that have had no problem before are all of a sudden having an issue now. My connection doesn't have a problem with everything else I use it for, btw. Just ARR.

I have Fios, too, and actually noticed more lag in the last week or so. Could also be my PS3, or a combination of both. But it's all hardwired, haven't changed a thing.

I'm betting it's just depending on where you are. The servers are in Montreal, so if you're from the west coast or very far south you have many many hops on the way to Montreal. I'm in Socal and am basically forced to pay for a VPN just to play this game. This should never ever ever happen in a AAA MMO.

Distance from the servers isn't an issue. My lag wasn't this bad even when I played 1.0 and the servers were in Japan. The issues I've been facing have only started happening after the 2.1 update. It gets so bad sometimes that when I do Titan I just see him and my party standing around for a few seconds not doing anything...then everybody pops back into place.

Somebody was saying our data center was having problems, so that may be the case. I'm about as far away from Canada as you can get lol

I hear its your ISP treating FFXIV as peer to peer traffic and thus throttling it giving you lag. Something you have to take up with your ISP.

It's not just Verizon, and it's not just NA servers.

I have DSL, and play on a JP server. I've NEVER had lag until this past week or so. In fact, a few days ago I was hit by an AoE before the red circle even appeared ^^

I'd really like to hear on this... I have 85 down - 35 up fios and run great on everything but this game in the last week. I play on ps3 and it's terrible now. Everything rubberbands, even just standing around in the city. It makes Titan and other raids near impossible.

Same as above (speed and everything), was fine until the last week or so then started to get really bad lag. Asked a few alliances while I was running CT if anyone else was having the same issues and many said they ere experiencing lag in the game where they once had no issues. Nothing else on my computer is having this issue, just FFXIV and mostly in instances. Haven't tried CT yet today, but I was getting a bit of rubber banding/lag in WP earlier. I want to say something got messed up in the last patch seeing this wasn't an issue before.

Yeah, I've been rubber-banding constantly and I'm on FiOS too. I don't know how in the hell I managed to successfully heal Titan HM today with it, but I did somehow.

A lot of people are getting it though. It's really odd.
