[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

If you live in Brazil and the game is suffering from 300ms+ latency, the real latency we should be getting is between 190ms and 210ms. Telefónica is routing 204.2.229.0/24 packets through Amsterdan. It only happens between Telefonica and NTT. Running this check to test the latency of the AWS CA servers can be a rough simulation of what you should be getting.

If your traceroute log shows hops named "ae1-0-ntt-grtamstc1.net.telefonicaglobalsolutions.com" and/or "amstnl02.nl.bb.gin.ntt.net" I encourage you to call tech support and apply generous quantities of salt.

Put your money where your mouth is people. The only way Square Enix will change the data center at this point is if you make it clear they wont receive funding for their game until they do so.

You start the boycott. Let us know when you're ready.

Okay yeah sure lemme just cancel my preorder and end my sub all the while knowing location has less impact on ping times and everything to do with ISP/routing.

I've been playing with my VPN and I can't get anything lower than 90ms in western PA. If you've got some routing secrets for me please feel free to share because I could really use some right about now.

Switch ISPs or move. Internet infrastructure out in the boonies is going to suck, period. Wouldn't have mattered much if they'd put the DC in Chicago if your ISP has garbage infrastructure.

And on that note, why are you complaining about sub-100ms ping when there are people with legitimate grievances complaining about 200+?

These forums are just awesome.

My ISP's route to central NA and eastern CA always routes to Virginia backbone before hitting outside routers... I kind of like it being one state over. I had 250+ ms ping when it was in montreal, now it's sub 50. if it goes to, let's say, Dallas, my ISP would route from Arizona to VA then down to TX. always has and always will. same for Chicago, first to VA then to IL.
