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

**Kanadiana** · 06/01/2014 09h14

Same here, FIOS customer, lag has been so horrible lately. It makes me and my wife look like noobs on Twintania. Same problem, run a ip trace and it chokes up at LEVEL3. Been using the WTFast program for a couple days and it really cleared it up but its only free for 30 days. I dont feel i should have to pay $5-$10 for a program just to connect efficiently to a game im already paying $15 a month to play.

No extra programs will help. People in my FC with actual lag problems get help from Pingzapper and such, but this new problem for FIOS is not related to us. It's on SE's side. We can't do anything but complain and hope they acknowledge us at some point. Bad thing about having the best internet = you're a minority and easily overlooked. So much for being hardcore.

It's getting depressing. People log in for the weekends, needing help with Titan EX and relying on certain others, but those certain others are the ones who randomly freeze mid-fight. This lag is the worst lag in the history of FFXIV, too, because it can't be predicted. There is no way to tell when it's going to hit, but you can be sure that when it does, you'll be knocked out of the arena before landslides even begin casting. Most of my FC is just sitting in town right now, too afraid to do anything.

I'm also a verizon fios user over in Texas and today i had to leave a Titan Extreme fight due to lag so bad i couldn't even move in time for the landslide. I called Verizon and they said they couldn't do anything on their end. I also never had any issues until after Christmas.

WTFast works perfectly (for me) actually. Since you connect via their servers you are getting a different route to the Montreal DC, presumably (since its better) not via Level3.

This is how I am atm, Doing very little in game activities.

I am at titan hm with my summoner, trying to do it with my friend and a group of our friends helping us this time around. Oh lawd.... its a hit or miss game going on most of the time because we can beat the heart and keep up for a bit.... (over half gone) but lol.... when that lag hits it just all goes down the drain. xD

Edit: I guess I should add that I use FiOs as well and I am a pc player so it's not because of any ps3 lag, hehe. soooo yeah.... connection problems here and there. :x

Also a FiOS customer here, and I can vouch for the annoying connection problems that started a little after 2.1 hit.

For the most part it seems like an overall increase in latency, but I'll occasionally have huge lag spikes and lose a whole 3 seconds or so at a time too. Nothing like that ever happened before.

I guess Im glad Im on Central America. I dont use FIOS and I havent got any lag issue since 2.1 unless I use my PS3.

**Bapex729** · 07/01/2014 00h59

I have Fios and have noticed the latency problems and it's really annoying since it's causing problems for me. Can't down Titan Ex since I'm having delays. Wasn't having problems until recently.

**Lurkios** · 07/01/2014 01h05

The choke point appears to be level3 for me as well, again, not an issue before 2.1

**Heartlly** · 07/01/2014 01h07

Since last night im have rubberbands and constant dissconctions.
I this what what i get for resubing D:
