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.
Our FC is in the same boat. We have a few people with FIOS in the Baltimore area, all of them are having the same issue. Where we could face roll Titan hard mode before, we are lucky to finish now. You can completely forget about Titan EM. VPN services do help however I refuse to pay more for a game I am already subbing while also paying an arm and a leg for a 75/35 internet connection.
