Patch, can I have it?

[Senfei]

Yeah... waiting for them to hit the Carolinas... one day. Bids have been submitted for new fiber in the Raleigh-Durham area (from a competitor, not TWC), and AT&T is slowly expanding their U-Verse offerings throughout the region (DSL speeds above 6Mb, as well as TV services). We really need some competition here to put a fire under TWC-SC's butt.

Agreed. What's sad is my inet was literally 1/5th of that yesterday, until I called and scheduled a tech to come swap out my modem/router for a newer one that could support the new speeds. I didn't even pay for this upgrade, this is just standard for what I pay now. Amazing how when real competition starts coming around, you suddenly get 5x more for your money. Time Warner advertises speeds up to 300mb, and Fiber was said to be capable of 1G last I heard.

Connecting from Denmark.
A lot of bandwidth lost when connecting overseas unfortunately. Latency is bearable, but not spectacular.

This is what I usually see with servers in Europe in general:


God I love this non-profit ISP. I pay ~20$/month for this.

Really looking forward to the European Datacenter though! Woooh!

God this patch downtime is killing me +___+

I just did a ping test for ffxiv us server got "88ms" wondering what's very one getting

Here's how to test ping:

1. Open up a the run interface (Windows Button + R).

2. Type in ‘CMD’ – this will bring you to the command prompt.

3. Type in ‘PING <IP Address>’ – you can find IP addresses of each FFXIV ARR server below.

4. At the bottom you will be given the minimum, maximum and finally your average ping.

North America Datacentre | square-enix.montreal.com | IP address: 184.107.107.176

Europe Datacentre | eu.square-enix.com | IP address: 209.130.141.243

Japan Datacentre | jp.square-enix.com | IP address : 202.67.53.202

My average results from Newcastle NSW with ISP Internode are: Japan:158, Europe:296, North America:264.

Wrong server IP addresses. Not sure where you got them from.. but those are website hosting servers (not even on Ormuco's segments either).. they are not used for the game.

To get a better metric, need an actual game server. Can get them with netstat/resmon once you are fully logged into the game. Otherwise, you can use the lobby servers:

neolobby01.ffxiv.com
neolobby02.ffxiv.com
neolobby03.ffxiv.com
neolobby04.ffxiv.com
neolobby05.ffxiv.com
neolobby06.ffxiv.com

Odd addresses are in Japan, even ones are in Canada.

Original post is over a year old... likely some information copy/pasted from information that was out there during beta or something. We've posted it over and over in the forums about how those IP's are invalid, and how to find the proper IP's. At least in the post you sited it actually gave the DNS names of the IP's... which should be a big clue that it's not a game server: eu.square-enix.com (go ahead... click it). But anyway... now more people will <hopefully> note that those addresses are invalid as game servers.

The front-ends for our worlds are still up, so the IP's are still responding to pings... for now at least:

The lobby servers are currently offline though, so you could only ping the world servers by their IP's. Just don't know which one your client is using yet.

Like I mentioned in the previous post, if you don't have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem that could be a source of the speed issues.
