Latency/Packet crashing

[Sugis]

I don't know what's going on, but ever since this recent ISP update/patch I have been able to do NOTHING ingame except run around or fate with the knowledge I'll probably freeze for 5-10 seconds before continuing whatever I was doing.

It becoming a bit unbearable considering I had planned to start doing a bunch of endgame content with my friends.

I tried running roulette and I froze up. When I tried doing Bismarck EX, I froze up.

I thought maybe it was my internet so I reset it. Logged back in and still having the same packet drop. I called my service provider to make sure they weren't doing some kind of routine maintenance in the area; they weren't.

SE please fix this latency issue or reverse whatever it is you did update wise. :/

I'm having horrible lag for several hours tonight (still ongoing) in FFXIV. People are warping around like crazy. It takes several seconds for a teleport request to actually initiate. Even showing/hiding my helm takes seconds to respond. Other people in my FC are reporting the same issue, although not everyone.

I did a ping to my server's IP and got a fairly consistent 25%-75% packet loss. A trace shows several timeouts within a handful of hops to the server. Not much I can do about that but hope it clears up.

Ping statistics for 199.91.189.30:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 1, Lost = 3 (75% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 72ms, Maximum = 72ms, Average = 72ms

Where the trouble seems to start:

For me it started happening ever since the instances were taken down. Maybe its hightime to move Data Centers to their proper locations...
