Disconnecting with 90000/90002

[Raist]

Got the Same problem and I live in Ohio so im pretty close to that Data center. Running a 1.5 GB/sec line getting 9k errors every 5-10 min this was not a issue in the past but for some odd reason now it is.

ISP:Roadrunner-Time Warner Cable 1.5GB/Sec

errm... 1.5Gb/sec? The highest speed I've seen mentioned on their forums has been 300Mb/sec (the Ultimate tier--Gigabit tiers have been projected into 2016 for metro areas, but haven't seen reports of a rollout or even test market yet?). And Ohio in general has been knackered up for quite some time. If it wasn't circular routing, it's been issues at various headends. Lots of infrastructure problems preventing people from getting consistent speeds they've paid (mostly plans above the 20/2 Turbo speeds), problems with channel alignments and ingress within certain ranges that causes modems to get knocked off during peak usage times. If it's been a problem that can plague cable broadband, you can pretty much find an instance of it happening in Ohio the last year or so, and with the MAXX rollouts it's getting worse and worse (Austin, TX, LA, and NYC have been giving them fits as well). MsRaye and a few others have been documenting Ohio's nightmares quite extensively on the TWC forums.

As for the OP, that sounds suspiciously like something might be going on with your hardware that may need to be looked into. Just seems odd that you have to reboot a system to recover from a network issue. Something happening remotely like that (be it on SE's end or enroute) should not be causing such behavior. May want to go through the Windows event logs to see if there are other errors getting trapped around the times you start experiencing your rash of disconnects. May want to check your modem's logs as well.

Otherwise, you guys may want to check your routing when things are going downhill for you. It's fairly consistently tied to issues occurring in route for the majority of cases, and isn't isolated to just FFXIV either. Other services are being impacted by this, and it has been getting increasingly worse since early summer when internet usage took off suddenly. ISP's just haven't been able to get the updates to their systems and/or peering/transit agreements fast enough to stay ahead of the congestion. We've been on TWC-SC's butt for nearly a year about such details, and they JUST finally started some upgrades at the cable plants this week. My modem bounced last night and I'm now bonding 8/4 channels over 8/1...looking like they are slowly getting things in place for either a new channel alignment and/or speed increases for the Carolinas soon (we hope).

Regardless of the width of our broadband though... the issue is our latency and packet loss. All that bandwidth goes to waste with a game that barely crosses the 128k bandwidth mark for the most part, and if latency is spiking all over the map causing delayed/dropped/retransmitted packets. That's the only reason we are looking forward to the speed increases--more ports and such made available to us so that the traffic gets thinned out. Lowering the congestion is what is needed most of all at this point.
