BS, never had this problem until 3.8
Everytime i port back to out house the whole estate drops into place.

you do realise, Destiny dropped at nearly the same time as 2.38, so there is alot more data being pushed through these really shoddy networks.



This... clear and simple. Your ISP has...

Again, not talking about your local ISP. Look at...

Sorry if you don't find the factual information...

As being discussed in the other thread you posted...

If they are connecting to the Canadian Data...

Guess you missed that it is just 3 ISP's betwixt...

Exactly the point that has been made over and...

in a lot of cases it isn't your ISP that is...
SE has nothing to do with the infrastructure and...

need to diagnose your route to the servers in...

In many (if not most) cases it is an issue...

And all the people thinking like this is why it...

Level3, Verizon, and Cogent have been well documented to be points of failure on the internet lately. (Use http://www.internetpulse.net/ during prime time to see how bad it gets lately) It's probably that by connecting to Japan's data centers you are entirely bypassing those nodes. So it makes sense that you potentially would see the problem going away by changing data centers based entirely on where you live in the country.

Also, you must consider that some ISP and backbone providers throttle certain kinds of data and FFXIV seems to fall prey to that.

It's these two things that make programs like WTFast so effective. You can route around the bad nodes, and it masks your data so it doesn't appear to be a video game therefore bypassing the packet sniffer's attempts to throttle.


TLDR: It's a more complex issue than "I have lag so the servers suck." Google around a bit and you'll see other games are having this problem too.



No it doesn't. It's a physically distinct location. One can go down without effecting the other for various different reasons. It doesn't begin to explain anything.
