SERIOUS Fios Lag - Please Fix!!!

[Tupsi]

Yes, the routing is not at SE's servers, but SE were the ones that decided to put only a few concentrated servers in a handful of countries. I do not experience this poor quality of connection with any other online game I play. .

Does the other games you play have servers that go through level3.net for example? Pretty much every MMO that does have been reporting more and more issues lately.

SE doesn't route. Your ISP routes.

Talk to your ISP.

If it's a FIos or Level 3 issue then there is really nothing square can do. You need to call your ISP and tell them you are having problems. You should be able to tell them about your tracert data and how this is preventing you from using legitimate servers over the network access you pay for.

The lag continues as server populations swell. Two weeks of unbearable coil fails have rendered attempting coil a downright waste of time. SE, this is your game, I'm a paying customer, please look into this issue soon. Otherwise, there's no point in paying for a game I can't even play due to such a ridiculous reason like lag.

It doesn't matter. Square could have installed them and the lag may not have appeared for an entire year. This problem can come or go at any time based on factors square can't do anything about. If it appeared a year after launch you would still be blaming SE, but this excuse wouldn't be useful anymore. What would you say then?

Call. Your. ISP.
They are the people who can actually do something about it.

I bet his ISP doesn't have a general rant forum.

Also if you call your ISP, do everything you can to get passed tier 1 tech support they will not be able to do anything about this.

Tier 2 will not really be able to do anything about this, but they can submit a request for tier 3/ engineer.

So it wasn't just me experiencing this. I too am in NY with Fios and experiencing this as well.

I'm also having problems with choppy gameplay, I've had 1 90k crash, and other forms or lag/latency. I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Texas area using FIOS. This is the same problem that happened the last big patch. I downloaded WTFast and I'm using the free trial till this gets fixed.

Last time this occurred it took a super long time for it to clear up. Here we are again lol..
