Lag

[Raist]

Happens to me too.
And whenever I bring it up on the forums I get the "use WTfast it's your ISP's fault you lag"
and I bought a month of WTfast to try it out and it's not doing anything at all, "connection improvement 5%" but still lagging like crazy.

During prime time I can't do Ex primals so I have to play on my alts doing low level dungeons where I can't cause wipes

Have you tried it with different VPN locations? Depending on just where you are getting routed at the other side of the tunnel, you could still be running into routing issues...possibly even the same.

Edit:
For example, here is a trace when connecting to TunnelBear's VPN in New York:

Tracing route to neolobby02.ffxiv.com [199.91.189.74]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

And here is what happens when I just tried their VPN to Montreal:
