Why Telia?

[Nadirah]

Who's Telia?

One of the largest ISP/mobile carriers in Europe.

Carrier I used in Sweden, has best coverage where I was at.

Telia was oft complained about (for lag spikes) back when I played WoT more often. Lol

SE isn't choosing Telia. They chose KDDI. KDDI peers mostly with Level3 and Telia, and your ISP's routing policies are determining which one if them you get assigned.

Need to be in touch with your ISP's Tier3 support. Give them either the IP your client uses (not necessarily the one showing at arrstatus...look it up with resmon or netstat) or the EU lobby server (neolobby06.ffxiv.com). You need a higher tier support then the ones that typically answer the phone or are the first to otherwise respond to a support ticket. You need specifically tier3 (sometimes referred to as Engineering)...they are the ones with the resources to conduct a proper investigation and escalate the issue towards any fixes.

Alternatively you could try altering your path through a VPN. It may be a good idea to at least tinker with the free use policies many offer to see if it improves. If it does, it is good ammo to fire at your ISP to fix your routing.

Call to logic. European data center, Chaos, european data center, European data, EUROPEAN.

Logic query: Why you making your char in European data center if you no European?


I find it .... Disgusting... To come and blame Square Enix for making the life of all EU players easier, at last!.... And, to be honest, I wouldn't have mind how it was because I had high ping, and EU have high ping. How it is right now is, EU low ping, me middle ping... So, I'm in disadvantage myself... But, please, the logic, EUROPEAN.

Okay yes, I do think it's rude to blame SE for trying to make the lives of the EU players easier but

also don't be rude to non-Europeans on EU servers. Thanks.
There's lots of reasons why non-Europeans would choose and/or stay on an EU server.
