The game will just completely stall out, no mobs are party members moving or performing actions, for anywhere from a few seconds to a half-minute at a time.

No issues in other online games. Unbuffered streaming downloads continue without issue during the same time these issues occur. My typical ping to the XIV servers is around 40 ms, but in-game data sent and received drops to 0 during these spikes and if I alt-tab and ping the XIV servers during these spikes, the test times out, even while speedtests continue to show a connection of around 100 mb/s. This occurs most often during prime hours, but can occur even at least populated hours (such as around 3 AM PST on weekdays).


ISP: Spectrum
Location: California, 92868 area, about 400 miles from the XIV servers' physical location.
