Thank you for the reply HeavenlyPete.

You mentioned you ran a trace route to the server, can you provide that?

Additionally, what have you tried so far in order to alleviate the issue?

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

all hops after the 11th node time out and do not respond.

methods i have tried (that i can remember):
-restarting computer
-checking firewall
-fresh install of game
-contacting ISP, who reset/updated my modem (after this did not work they said i should contact the game provider, hence this thread)
-resetting my modem via unplugging, waiting a period of time, and replugging
-updating drivers
possibly more that i can update later with if i remember. unfortunately none of these methods have worked.

Thank you for the reply HeavenlyPete.

For clarification, where are you running this trace route to? What IP address did you enter? It seems the image cut that part off at the top.
