The title says it all.

Starting Tuesday this week after reset, I've been having huge lag spikes to the point where it's so bad tonight I can't actually play. Every fight in the dungeons starts me lag spiking. I can't heal, I freeze. The game just becomes unplayable. The forums here also seem to be a bit slow, but they're serviceable.

I don't know if this is an issue with me alone or what, but other sites seem to be working fine (youtube, downloading seems fine, antivirus and malware detectors tell me I'm clean...) I suppose my IP could be to blame but... as I mentioned it seems to just be FFXIV.

Is something wrong with the servers (Valefor) or is there anything I can do on my end to clear this up?
