Well, at least I'm not the only person having this issue. I've gone through every possible fix I can think of and even some off the wall ones. The issue is NOT on my end, not my ISP, not my equipment and the above posters confirm this. I just started playing FF again (XI was the last I played) and as much as I am truly enjoying (when I'm not getting dc'd) the game it's silly for me to pay for something that I can't stay connected to.
