Has the latency problem came back?

Lag is getting worse every day, on my end it's around the same time every night, 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST. It only lag in FFXIV and not other online activity or games.
ISP: Verizon Fios. Never had to complain about my internet so far other than now with the game. Anything we can do to figure out where it's coming from?

Lag has always been an issue - at least for me. Doesn't matter what server group I'm on, but it has been since day 1. It's especially troublesome when I'm melee'ing, and a red box or circle appears at my feet. Doesn't matter how quick I am -- it's already too late. I will be out of it for like 3+ whole seconds, the circle disappears and I get hit (sometimes one-shotted). I heard there's a workaround, but it's only viable for ranged. So, I have since been slowly leveling ranged.

As far as harder lag goes... I've seen that too, usually short-lived tho, but I suspect it's those lizard guys that like DDOS'ing things. That, or a really bored and disgruntled basement-dwelling hambeast with a botnet.
