Reporting Latency Related Issue (NA Data Center)

[Indaliceo]

This is getting completely ridiculous.... Haven't been able to actually play the game I'm paying for about half the time since I resubbed last month.

Name of your Internet Service Provider: Comcast
State/Country: Georgia
Date/Time Started about 3 weeks ago, happens at all hours intermitently.
Frequency (How often does the issue occur?) Has happened at all hours serverside. Had it happen during prime time server time, had it happen at 6am server time, there's no rhyme or reason to it, just suddenly packet loss that makes it impossible to play.
Content (Which content were you playing in-game when the issue occurred?): Idling, crafting, checking retainers, fate grinding, dungeons, chatting. Pretty much entire game experience is being ruined... Probably not resubbing at this point.
Server: Jenova
Traceroutes: Ran 3 back to back to back. The stuff isn't consistent at all whenever they show normal, it'll go from perfectly normal ping times to suddenly timing out or 300+ pings.

Not a single other game has any issues with lag. League of Legends doesn't, CS:GO doesn't, Ragnarok Online doesn't. FFXIV is LITERALLY the only thing I have problems with on my connection.

Edit: Using a VPN like WTFast or Mudfish isn't a valid solution. I'm paying a subscription fee already for this game I shouldn't need to sub to a third party service in order to actually PLAY the dang thing.
