    It's not necessarily Comcast's fault either. If they can find you a different route then that's about the extent that they can do. Unfortunately Level3's junction in to Canada is shite.

    That is the thing though...Comcast can peer with up to 4 other top tier providers. Their routing servers have access to every one of them. You can look up the ASN's and the bgp data and see routing is available through TATA, Cogent, etc.

    The problem is for whatever reason they are choosing not to contact the current peering partner or to switch to an alternate peer. So, that at least makes Comcast responsible for perpetuating the problem.

    I've noticed an uptick in the number of people complaining about lag across various ISPs. This occasionally occurs after they patch or hotfix or if there's an uptick in simultaneous logins (which is likely since they announced a free login period a couple days ago).

    It's most likely the login campaign, but resetting your routers can't hurt anything!

    As much as everyone loves to blame their ISP, my raid WHM reported his ping is just fine but he's experiencing severe game lag with FFXIV. No lag with any other games. I've also been experiencing bad lag in anything 8+ man, but 4-person parties go just fine.

    And people do the same thing with SE when there's also stuff between those two points!

    Ahhh.but was that a simple ping (4 hits in roughly 1 minute), or a more extensive monitoring of continuous 200 or more pings over an extended time frame that may show signs if heavy jitter or the odd dropped packets every dozen or so pings.

    Need to be tracking things over time to see the range of responses. Just one or two retransmits here and there is barely noticible, but if it is happenenig regularly enough it knackers things up. It may even trigger TCP/IP error correction to flag it for slow start and clamp down the receive windows. It serves it's purpose well in some applications, but for a game like this it can complicate things further.
