Latency issues

[KANNIS]

I'm not having issues with other MMO's (GW2, and Wildstar), only with FF14 (the one I really want to play).

Thanks

If I remember correctly... they aren't hosted on Ormuco lines in Montreal, or JP-NIC in Tokyo.

You can't simply expect one service in a different region to behave the same as one in another region. Heck...even just running across town you can run into issues that don't crop up against a server in another country. The internet is a complex web of inter-connected networks. Look at that trace I provided. 8 distinctly separate top-level subnets (network groups) along my path to Midgard. 17 total interconnections along the way--and every single one of them is a potential point of failure along the way.

Oh, and BTW.. you Comcast subscribers may simply be dealing with more issues upstream within the Comcast network again. Think it was certain spots in Missouri last week that had gone completely down and it was flat out knocking out connectivity to certain regions for LOTS of users. Here's a map showing problems reported from downdetector.com:

The URL above it has more frequently updated data, comments, maps, links to support, etc. The most recent map at the site is actually showing a lot of red splotches where that archived one is still only showing yellow.

You can find more companies tracked at their companies page for people not using Comcast.
