    [Ping] Game uplayable?

    Many people might say this ping is acceptable, at times, but overall its not acceptable.

    I enjoy doing extremes and savage, and I sometimes play as dragoon, and this type of ping is just not acceptable to play at especially with trying to double weave and oftentimes it becomes so bad, i cannot even single weave.


    Here is the information:

    Acceptable ping for me
    55-69

    Becoming unacceptable
    80+

    New average
    95-110

    Highest I've seen
    220+

    It seems during peak hours when I want to do Extreme primals my ping reaches 150 or so. Which just doesnt cut it.

    Here is a tracert during non peak hours:

    1.......<1ms.........<1ms............<1ms.........Router
    2.......9ms..............9ms...............9ms.......Other
    3........9ms..............9ms..............9ms........Local
    4.......11ms.............11ms..........11ms.......Local
    5........24ms.............35ms...........24ms....GA-comcast
    6........23ms.............29ms..........22ms......marietta.ga...comcast.net [68.86.88.178}
    7........33ms............34ms..........29ms........50.242.151.58
    8......24ms..............23ms..........25ms........Atlnha05 [129.250.5.59]
    9.......22ms..............22ms.........27ms........atlnga05 [129.250.5.202]
    10.....45ms..............44ms.........45ms........dllstx09 [129.250.4.116]
    11.....90ms..............82ms..........83ms.......snjsca04 [129.250.4.154]
    12.....85ms..............86ms..........88ms.......snjsca04 [129.250.6.119]
    13....86ms..............87ms..........86ms........scrmca02 [129.250.7.53]
    14....88ms..............87ms..........87ms.......scrmca02 [129.250.195.46]
    15....87ms.............86ms...........86ms........FFXIV 204.2.229.254
    16....93ms.............85ms............88ms......Malboro 204.2.229.101

    So to me this says the problem is the location of the FFXIV servers.

    But...

    I had comcast provision my modem/router last night and my ping went from about 120 back to my desired ping of a steady 57ms. But after finishing up doing some extreme primals my ping, on the same night, was back up to 95-110.... (within just about 1-2 hours tops.)


    I also replaced my modem/router recently as they said my previous one was "end of life" so I purchased a modem that was approved and recommended by comcast. A Netgear Nighthawk C7000. But I am still having the same problem as my previous modem/router.

    I randomly get 90002 error, high ping, inconsistent ping, poor packet loss etc etc.

    I have had 2 technicians come and perform work on my lines.

    Nothing has helped. I also have changed started up settings, cleared my browsing history all the basic stuff, as well as all mentioned above.



    Is this a FFXIV issue, as the ping increases in California or is this my issue, or ISP or what?

    Any help is appreciated as this is seriously affecting when and how i do content in the game. I cant exactly do extreme primals and savage with 220 ping, with packet loss. Thank you.

    ADDITIONAL additional information for people reading OP only:

    I'm hardwired to modem/router from PC.
    Modem/router is one device. (had to do this to quiet comcast.)
    No other ISP's exist for my area.
