Error 9002 and constant connectivity issues with NA Data Centre

[Shizzle]

For the past 4 days have been experiencing poor connectivity with the NA data servers making playing unplayable disconnects every 2minutes in raid/dungeon and while out crafting in the world and latency showing as more than 2K and error 90002's. Now while I may suspect it could be a issue from my ISP's end due to extremely poor weather from flooding over weekend I am able to watch Netflix and the like without issues it seems to connecting to NA data servers that is causing grief.

I'm usually averaging a ping of a constant 150ms to 250 ms usually when the connection is fine.

Been getting the same. So much freaking lag lately. And so many 90ks. This lag needs to be fixed. ; ;

I have also been getting this problem. Can't stay connected for even 30secs. I am Central Queensland, Australia.

Coeurl server, Aether data center, NA

I am with EscapeNet. Not sure if they use optus or telstra. Course its my friends account and he hasn't been playing for a while.

The same has been happening to me for the last three days (working fine before that). Also in NSW, Australia with Optus. I thought it might be the weather as well, but my ping is fine and I've not had issues playing Overwatch or streaming, etc.

Sometimes I can sit in the goblet and craft fine, or practice on striking dummies fine and it only lags for around five seconds every 5-10mins or so. But other times I get a 90002 error within a few minutes. I always have an issue with dungeons/instances though.

Since 4th of June I've been disconnected 100% from every instance within a few minutes of getting in (sometimes instantly). The odd thing is when I ping, it shows a stable 235~275 (which is usual) even while I'm in the middle of being disconnected and frozen in game (not so usual). There might be one or two packets lost out of fifty, but with how I'm disconnecting it really should be higher than that?

Hey guys,
Qld Townsville here with Optus also. I've spent all day working this out and arguing with Optus. What I can tell you is that the issue isn't with SE, it's entirely with Optus. I used a program called pingplotter to watch the connection from australia to NA FF14 servers. The issue is this, turns out, Optus uses their own interconnect to North America via Singapore. The packet loss fluctuates between 0% and 20% (from what I've seen) from 203.208.183.38 (owned by singtel) to 66.110.57.81 (and consquently subsequent hops that follow after until the destination). Now here's the problem for all of us Optus customers. This is part of Optus's infrastructure, for some reason they think it's a great idea to route our data through singapore first then to america instead of routing it from sydney to america. They claim there is nothing they can do about it but also don't believe it warrants having the contract cancelled. TIO has stated that there is a possibility they are right based on the grounds that it's an infrastructure problem in singapore. I've submitted my complaint and they have 10 days to respond, so I'll keep things posted if anything changes. But yeah...

TLDR: Optus's shitty infrastructure is the blame, not SE

I don't know about that, i'm in the US on an NA server and i was getting massive lag spikes for no apparent reason. Two days ago, i couldn't go 3-4 steps in game without disconnecting. i checked my ping and everything, not that i saved it, stupid me, but the last few days have been very laggy. a bunch of us were in Limsa and all of a sudden Red Pokeballs of disconnect everywhere for all but like 3-4 people.

I could guess some of your issues may be related to Optus, but...i honestly am not sure if that's fully the reason. many people in the South East part of the US have been having this problem.

I'm with Optus as well here in Melbourne and I've been getting the same errors. Can confirm that the problems started around the same time as OP's. I'd log in and everything would be fine for 30 seconds, then everything freezes and 90002 happens. Really hope this problem is fixed sometime soon ;;

NSW, also with Optus and having the same problems, on Coeurl/Aether. The game is pretty much unplayable as it is. Different error code as of today though; now I'm getting 90006's.
Really hope this gets fixed soon! Was looking forward to playing the new patch.

Country: Singapore
Internet service provider: myrepublic
Server: primal/Excalibur
Problem: while I was able to download 3.3 with no issue, I keep getting disconnected after about 30 seconds with massive latency as well. 90006 error keeps appearing at the point of disconnect. Please help! Really want to play 3.3. Thanks

[JoninRock]

I'm having this issue very recently, I asked my friends (who lived in the US) and they never encountered any issues. I've received major lag spikes during combat and soon booted either 90002 or 90006 issue, it's getting to the point of being extremely frustrating not enjoying Patch 3.3's content. I have tried changed my DNS, my router and reset my PS4 connection and it had no effect. I would appreciate an update from anyone who plays this same in my country (Australia).
