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

[Sasuke29]

I've recently just switched to Fios from Time Warner this past Saturday because of the increase in speed performance. I've never had any lag issues prior to the switch with ARR. From day one of the switch to Verizon, I've been lagging on both wired and wifi. This leads me to believe that it's definitely a Verizon issue. So far, I'm not very satisfied with Fios and it hasn't even been a week.

It's not just the game lag, it's also due to the fact that the modem/router they provided has horrible wifi speeds but is fine when I'm hard wired. Also, they don't have an app for the roku??? C'mon! I guess I've been spoiled by TWC. I might just end up switching back since I've been lag free with TWC both pre and post patch 2.1.

Btw, my download and upload speed with Fios is 75/30 mbps, but I've only gotten those speed while hard wired. Still lags with ARR. I've been using battleping the past few days, but shouldn't have to rely on a 3rd party software to fix this issue.

That is odd, I have had FiOS for the past 5 years with 0 issues. My Wifi also operates at the speed it is supposed to.

Have you tried logging into your modem/router and making sure all of the settings are correct? (FiOS technicians on the other hand suck so something could be amiss there)

Been having the same problem for a few weeks, since that patch. The game has been unplayable since. No acknowledgement from Squeenix on the issue. Unsubscribed today.

Having issue w/ cable, packet loss in same spots of level3 places(Denver and montreal).

It's not just verizon FIOS... It's on SE's side and is easily proven by traceroutes.

Ha! I remember that wireless router/modem they gave me, terrible, my connection would slow down if my wife was downloading something and hers if I was. I actually bought a Buffalo wireless router and connect through that. Never a problem since.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone with Verizon has had their lag issues resolved. Just curious; I'm not even with Verizon.

No. Sometimes it works more or less like it should, but it keeps getting to a state where crafting or any serious content becomes unpleasant/unplayable. Usually somewhere around primetime. More often then not I will regret it when I don't start the game with wtfast.

Located 300 miles from the server. Zero packet loss / 20ms avg all the way until this hop.

The only Hop that matters. 800 samples
ae-10-10.car2.Montreal2.Level3.net - IP 4.69.153.86 - PL=13% - Min 98ms - Max 278ms

This IP has been reported to death by so many ppl and still not resolved.

Probably intentional from Level3's side.
Nice business idea... first make sure major ISPs peer with you and you have no major competitors, or get the major competitors to hop on the same idea... then start messing with traffic and try to get content deliverers that are not even directly connected to their network to pay to get their data prioritized.
Services like WTFast might even go through exactly the same hops, but if they pay to get their traffic prioritized, no lag if you go through them.

Could liken it to keeping the data hostage and let some data go, and pop others as long as otherwise uninvolved parties don't pay up.

Moral of the story is .. never locate your damn servers in Canada.
