Consistent packet loss over the past 2 months

[pls_no]

I'm finally deciding to make a post about this, but for the past few months I've had constant packet loss and it's making NIN a hassle to play. I've been running PingPlotter for a while connected to the Malboro server and these are the results:


I also ran a pathping:

From my understanding, it looks like most of the packet loss is during the final hops, so would this be an issue on my ISP's end or on Square's end? I'd absolutely love to get this fixed ASAP and would appreciate any help.

Hi there pls_no,

I'm in no way trying to hijack your thread, but I would just like to say that I'm experiencing a similar issue with only FFXIV and I made a post over here yesterday: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...IV-Heavensward

I'll keep an eye on this one too in case you get a response before I do.

I've been having a similar issue for a month or so on and off. Packet loss seems to cause a lot of connection issues.
