Has the latency problem came back?

[RubenSnizzle]

Fix the god damn lag. I can't even do Mog EX which is dirt easy, because of the stupid lag spike i get. This is really irritating beyond bullshit.

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?

[Kyonika]

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.

Yea, I have been having serious lag issues lately. A lot of Error 90k's and 2002's trying to log back in! Please, please, please! Do what you can to fix the lag issue!!! :"(

I hope this is temporary, I just came back, and left the last time because of the latency problems I was having in dungeons/trials. 25/25 verizon fios with nothing downloading or streaming in the background, always beginning to occur around 8pm est. Its the same as last time, stuttering in dungeons/raids/trials. Probably packet loss again. Every other game works fine during this time of the day.

I can't even race chocobos without getting lag spikes now. C'mon SE.. at least acknowledge this.

Update on my problem. I finally decided to try WTFast, the free version, and the problem seems completely fixed. I knew there was a bad node in between me and the servers that has never been fixed, and i seem to be able to get around it now. Ive only had 1 lag spike in a few nights of playing, whereas before I had fairly consistant rubber banding, every night.

Running winMTR, the problem seems to be at the final hops near the SE servers. I'm getting packet loss at 192.34.76.10, lots at 199.91.189.242, and a few even at the final hop of 199.91.189.30.

Been tracking it for months now and it happens during prime time NA hours...

I've been having disgusting lag spike aswell lately, usually around 7-8pm+ EST. At first I noticed it mostly in dungeons because I couldn't register my mudras but now it affects me on the world map to the point where mining 1 single unit would take me 10-15 seconds. What baffles me is that I'm paying for High Speed net and I'm living right by the servers (Montreal)...Hopefully they'll fix this before HW.

[Isyaan]

I'll chime in to say the game has become unplayable for me right now due to lag. Mudras on NIN expire before I get the chance to use them.

Another happy comcast customer.

~ I did recently contact support @ my ISP about it, and they are blaming a cable outage that spans like 3 states. No word on when they are getting it back up either, the best they could do was give me a credit to my account for this month.
