I have been having this issue for the past week too. Never had lagspikes before.

I dont know how to word this correctly as I was told by a friend. Most house hold internet run on a stack 3 very basic tranmitting data.. You want to call you isp and ask for a stack 5.. Your internet will get slower download rate but packets are sent twice and more stable... Basically normal adsl2 is a foot ib the door for gaming, adsl2 stack 5 is both feet in the door

Interesting. I'll be sure to ask for this and see what happens. Especially as I'll be on dsl when I move; right now it's cable. Thank you.

Do you mean the protocol stack suites? Client/Host data translations normally dictate what stack the traffic is shaped on. If the suite is different, they client/host may ignore eachother. All the stacks are is layer of suite sequencing that the ISP may be able to change (changing ICMP to FTP), but in the long run hurt you.

Do you mean having your IPvxx changed on the ISP side? Most if not all IPv's are backward compatible with one another so if you use IPv6 and the host is IPv5, IPv6 will change it's sequencing over.

You could also mean the shaping of the data from client to host, which you CANNOT do (changing ICMP to TCP/UDP). XIV uses ICMP data shaping. If the host doesn't see ICMP traffic, it will likely ignore it.

Have had lagspike issue from Monday at least. Haven't been able to do any content because of it.

Playing from Finland on Balmung, not having any other issues with internet connection. My husband playing from same address also has lag spikes at the same time I do.
