Regarding Reports on Recent Connection Problems with the NA Data Center

[Riko_Futatabi]

I'm guessing the recent Mod response has killed this thread for the meantime. I haven't posted an update in a while, but I'm letting you know that the situation I've been in for 7 months is still on-going. 90k errors/rubber-banding etc.

While it is nice to have Moderators finally in this part of the forums, even if we ultimately got nowhere in the end. I'm sure it's a pain being a Moderator, having to deal with things that are probably out of your hands or hearing the same thing day after day. I hope the clear message you've got from everyone is that NTT is not capable of reliably dealing with FFXIVs traffic at peak times(and maybe in general) and that this information is passed on so that this can get resolved in future.

Maybe you have some sort of contract with them that you don't wish to break and/or that finding a new provider will cost more initially. Who knows, I'm sure there's some reason why this isn't getting resolved immediately. I'm sure my words are as fleeting as the wind to the ears of those able to do something about this. But Square Enix as a company needs to be more transparent about these situations and improve tenfold with their communication within the company and with relaying that to the community. Much time and frustration could have been averted had we just known this couldn't get resolved any time soon. But you guys also probably didn't know this, or maybe I'm being too lenient!

Anyway, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ got any VPN recommendations? (Sort of joking, but curious really.)
