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

Not an isp issue if a large amount of the population sees the problem on different isps on different distances, etc. All I see here is the few people commenting simply does not see the delays. It is very annoying. The support desk and FC chest is still ungodly slow too. A

It is a ISP issue tbh. My boyfriend and I live in the same city with different ISPs. Before move, FFXIV was nearly unplayable for me with 75 ms because Spectrum loves to route through the Level 3 bottleneck and cause major packet loss. Meanwhile on his end with a different isp, he has similar ping but zero packet loss. After move, he sees a uptick in ping to 100ms but he sees no change and still has zero input lag. He has always even now can load into zones in 2 seconds and experiences zero screw-ups with combos related to input lag. Meanwhile, I now experience zero packet loss but very little difference in ping (decrease to 65-68) but am finally able to not screw up my cooldowns and combos. For the longest time he thought I was making up how as Black mage main my ice abilities would never restore my mana without a good 6 second delay but he believes me now after seeing how much smoother I can play. Loading in after logging in is now instant. Something which he continues to experience despite the move and ping increase.
