I did some trace routes and noticed an issue between ATT and Level 3 however. This is probably due to Netflix traffic maxing out the interconnection and jamming up the connections. These internet providers need to reach some deals with each other to provide better backbones or the internet is just going to continue to suck at this rate.

Square Enix has some clout with their buying power so maybe they can make something happen but until the internet providers work together to give us the internet bandwidth required to supply high demand traffic then the internet is doomed to more and more crunching.
