Its the networking equipment outside SE's control. Their datacenter's ISP, or their ISP's ISP. If it was the servers themselves, EVERYONE would be experiencing the same issues. Its NOT everyone.

Its not even fully the ISP, but certain switches/routers in the route. Its not the networking gear at the datacenter, or it would be effecting everyone.
Well I'm not saying it's the server itself, but everything possible thing related to the functioning of the data center from equipment to service provider to route, etc. FFXIV is literally unplayable as of now. I don't know what's causing the problem and don't think it's the isp in my area. I can do everything else smoothly like streaming and play other steam online games perfectly fine, but FFXIV just wouldn't run smoothly. It started 2 to 3 weeks ago, the game turned into a rubber-banding power point slide show all of a sudden. I'm not IT person, but this is extremely annoying.

The most frustrating thing is I had zero issue with connection before the relocation. Now post relocation, I suddenly have connectivity issues when I'm in West Coast is absurd.
