Sudden lag spikes and DCs on NA Data Centers?

[Tharian]

Now here's the million Gil question- When will square fix this and let us play peacefully again

If it is an issue with the Level 3 Server... I can't really believe it is an issue that Square Enix can fix, as from what I am gathering, Level 3 is a major Internet Hub, not something that Square Enix controls. Thus it would require the Internet Hub fixing the issue, which could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, and it wouldn't be worth getting mad at Square Enix over since it isn't there fault.

SE server problem.

Same here on Sargatanas but connecting from Italy

I just log in Cactuar server. I might get kicked off in 2-3 mins.

EDIT: Ugh , still lag as hell while crafting...

You might as well wait it out and save your blood pressure.

Well, I haven't gotten kicked out since I posted. Checked tracert. No timeout hmmm... and... no level3 listed O_o

Tried Behemoth again, back to nothing but Lobby errors.

Did a tracert and non of my connections are currently routing through Level 3 and I am in NA and able to be on just fine. One of the few I think but that might suggest its a level 3 issue. Hope the info helps a little bit.

A Level3 issue most likely, from what I can see. At the very least, the trouble starts with them.
Connecting from Italy, very much like Zeph, but en route to Excalibur - things seem ok till the 14th hop, then...

"Richiesta scaduta" stands for "Request expired/Timeout" in Italian, btw.

Jenova is having the same issue. I reset router, restarted PC, and tried out other game clients. It's just Sqaure Enix data centers. Logging in: I had a message saying there was 67 people in front of you in que. My server never has a wait time, it's Jenova.

My EU friends who log into the aether data center are reporting no problems on their end.
