For those with Verizon FIOS getting lag while playing FF14 on the Canada Data Center

[Wobbler]

To the creative folks that some how managed to get my email address, emailing me your traceroutes isn't going to help If you're with Verizon, give them a call on the number listed in the first post.

Also for those that are wondering how to your server IP, there is two ways, the easy and the harder.

The easy is to head over to http://www.arrstatus.com/ and mouse over your server. Some people have reported that this is incorrect however for both the servers that I have played on it has been right.

The hard way is to download wireshark, start packet capture on your network device used for communications for FF14 (usually your NIC or Wireless NIC prolly listed as Local Are Connect).

Start the game (if you're paranoid you can already have it running).

Click statistics, endpoints.

Click the IPv4 tab and just look for the address where the majority of your traffic is going.

The main assumption with this approach is that you don't have anything else with a lot of traffic going on at the time, eg watching videos, streaming movies, etc
