Unplayable Lag

I don't get the lag in Limsa or Ul'Dah but in Mor Dhona it's the same as in instances =/

I was getting 2-3 seconds of those freezing and speed-up lag before the maintenance. However, after today's maintenance, it was extremly horrible. One time in Haukke Manor I had 20 seconds of lag but I know the server is still receiving my connection because everything I pressed re-appeared like fast forward after the lag, so I just keep pressing my rotations as normal.

However, needless to say, dodging aoe was beyond impossible.

Just to add more data in case a mod or someone of power actually looks at this.

I'm in the U.S with Time Warner, 100 down. Ever since 2.1 I have been getting really terrible lag to the point where I can't really run many dungeons anymore. Everything was fine before and I'm not lagging on anything else. :<

Fix one thing. Break another.

Post it on the forum -> wait for someone to say "My game runs perfectly you must have a ___________________"
a. poor ISP
b. computer/PS3
c. some other ridiculous defense of SE's constant server issues

Actually, I have seen someone say "The game runs horribly, its server must be in Canada (EU)."

So we can assume it's mainly a Sky/BT problem? Could it be some kind of throttle? My boyfriend only downloaded a 30GB worth of Elder Scrolls beta recently, but could we still be capped by the ISP?

Sky/BT/Verizon FIOs and AT&T have been having issues with XIV lately. It's likely the hops taken.

Whatever you do, don't elude to it being Sqenix's fault.
And don't you dare complain when you have to pay for a VPN sub to play this MMO when you'll never have to do it for any other.

Oh and zoom your camera out.

Put in a ticket with SE and they've told me to ensure my router is using the right ports and if that doesn't work I should contact my ISP. Which I've already done.

For the last week or so every instance I've gone into there has been someone dc'ing. I was in Satasha this morning on Excaliber and the tank dc'd during the first boss fight. We were able to down it, without a problem without the tank. This is just one example of many that has been going on. I've also gotten a lot more lag and lag spikes as well.

One more to add. I have cox in the U.S. and my game has been unplayable since Saturday. Intense rubber banding and 90k disconnects every few minutes. They tell me its my isp but im not entirely convinced. I can ping their server with no problem and my isp says everything is good. They are sending a technician tomorrow though im not sure what they'll be able to do. Very frustrating spent all day yesterday with customer service from both.
