From what I've read lags/spikes seem to be the biggest cause for the disconnects and so it is for me. The twist is, I've noticed that it primarily happens in timed events - leves, dungeons.... No timer , no DC. The only caveat is fates, they for the most part work just fine.

Have any others out there notice similar?

Background:
I have Cox as a provider, during beta had only the occasional DC, same during launch and up to the data center / world reconfig, but since the first patch, game play has grown more and more unreliable. It is getting worse - in the last 2 days, I've not been able to get a stable connect with FFXIV in the morning.

My connection with the rest of the internet is stable - only with the FF servers do I have issues.

Minor rant:
If this continues, I will have no choice but to cancel my account,and that I would rather not do as I've been with FFXIV back in 1.0 and still love the game.

But if SE doesn't get off its collective --- and fix issues like this - the game is going to sink no matter what new content it puts out.

SE - What are you going to do, Fix the issues or lose customers?
