Lobby Error 2002 when connecting to Aether Data Center (but no others).

[WhenInDoubt]

Update: 3 and a half hours later, the error upon connecting to western data centers continues. I know it is not a congestion issue, as every friend, FC mate, and the like I speak to is able to connect just fine at the moment. I would assume it is some sort of routing error between the data centers and my ISP, but I can't say for certain. I would like to receive some assistance or have the issue resolved sometime today before maintenance. If waiting until maintenance (presumably) frees up my connection to western data centers is the only solution, that would be ridiculous in the future. Right now I am perma-locked with 2002.

Steps taken:
- Reset router & modem
- Reset PC
- Port forwarding
- Relogging / Connecting to other Data Centers (can only connect to the Japanese ones)
- Pinged NA IP and no packets were lost.
- Followed every suggested step in this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...rror-Code-2002

ISP: NextLight (exclusive to Longmont, Colorado, USA)
