    /sigh

    You're not even looking at an IP used for the game. All the servers in Canada start with 199. That IP you are hitting hosts websites for the Squenix/EIDOS libraries, but has nothing to do with playing FFXIV. Ping www.justcause2.com, www.sleepingdogs.net, and www.deusex.com if you don't believe me. There's more than a dozen website URL's that point to that IP.

    All of this has been covered over and over and over again in thread after thread on these forums. Beginning to wonder if people even bother to research them anymore before creating duplicate threads over and over again.

    If you are going to run tests, ideally you want to use the IP your client actually uses (netstat from DOS or resmon from the run/search box to get the IP when you are fully logged into the game). At the very least, you could use the lobbyserver addresses:

    neolobby01.ffxiv.com
    neolobby02.ffxiv.com
    neolobby03.ffxiv.com
    neolobby04.ffxiv.com
    neolobby05.ffxiv.com
    neolobby06.ffxiv.com
    (odd numbers are Japan, even are Canada. Note this may change once they get actually EU servers up and running)


    Regardless though, you have some problems in your more localized segments that need to be addressed first. No matter how good things might be at the other end of the route, seeing 100, 200, 300, and 400+ms response times so close to home is going to be a BIG problem. You may find things get considerable better if you can get away from those bad latency spots within your first 5 hops.

    And how do I change the first 5 hops? Do I ask my ISP to do something?

    Changed the ip trace to the server I play on and these are the results...

    Them or whoever is in control of all those private IP addresses prior to that Rogers IP address at hop #10 (24.156.157.153). If it is your ISP using all those IP's, then you need to be in touch with their Tier3 techs about this. They can conduct a more proper investigation and hopefully get things escalated towards a proper resolution.

    I did try to escalate it due to the tech at the original call saying it was beyond his understanding.. pay grade. So he transfers me to a department called Tech Experts... an off shot to Rogers.. they wanted $34 more for them to assist me??? Not that it would mean they would solve my latency issues..

    I'm still leaning on FFXIV did something in that new patch that's preventing me from playing.. because prior to that I've had no issues what so ever.

    My readings when in game before I get booted...

    Sending 60 Receiving 72

    When in Lobby server I get 3102 saying I need to wait until my character is out of the game..

    Then the lobby server window freezes and crashes after a few attempts.

    Then I get an error 2002...

    This is not a latency issue... its a game issue.
