It should be pointed out that certain activities can render an IP address "unusable" or "subject to DPI/throttling"

If you have one of those cable/dsl modems where the ISP is "sharing" your internet connection with a guest connection or something of that nature, turn that feature off or opt-out. Generally the 2002/90000 connections and similar "dropped connections" are a result of your upstream connection being tampered with, or something on your system (or someone elses system sharing it) is occupying all the upstream bandwidth (eg bittorrent.) FFXIV is super-sensitive to this (simply uploading a video to Youtube will kill my connection to FFXIV, because the web browser tries to push it at the maximum connection rate.)

Someone with Symmetric Fibre Optics (eg Verizon FiOS) shouldn't even be a capable of exhausting their upstream bandwidth. If you have Cable on the other hand, yes, it's absolutely possible that someone on your cable node is crushing the upstream bandwidth available.
