Unbearable server lag since yesterday

[Alcaine]

Xfinity user from Ultros here. I quit out last night it was so bad, and it's happening again today.

[Carmina8710]

Posted last night & posting again. Played all day long (on Spring Break...woot!) with no lag...then around 9:45pm/10pm (central) the lag decides to come back. I eventually was disconnected completely...

Can confirm it is back. Xfinity/Lamia/West Coast

Frontlines is unplayable. Any savage is also unplayable.

Tonight for me is slightly better. Lag is still there, but less egregious than the 2 nights before. But there's still time, lol.

[icy_]

happening to me too, I want to say Square Enix is doing something to their servers, because all is fine until like 10pm EST, which iirc is near start of workday over in Japan?
For the last three days the lags have been starting around this time until it's magically fine again next morning. So I suspect SE doing something o.O

Been having issues since Monday. Sargatanas and Xfinity. Can barely get through Main Scenario roulette, nevermind something challenging. Sample tracerts:

Well I have to say it wasn't near as bad tonight as last night. Only had problems in instances and even then only past 10:00 (central) - was ok before that.
It does sound like SE is doing something, and as I said in an earlier post, this sounds familiar..it seems like the week before a big patch, we see behavior like this. I'd love to think that's the case.

[Yitsy]

Bumping this thread, 4 people from my raid group, tons of people on reddit + 5-6 people on ffxiv/discord all xfinity/comcast customers.

[eaudaemon]

coming back to say that Lag is still active in the game

[DiviDevout]

I have been having these issues for a while now outside of FFXIV with Comcast. This usually starts around 6-8PM PDT, and ends 2-4AM PDT.

However, recently, it has been happening in FFXIV a lot more.

I don't think its a FFXIV only issue, but routing centers along the way to the server.

Here are a couple tracerts:

13 59 ms 64 ms 62 ms 204.2.229.9

Anyway, this affects more than just FFXIV for me, as other data that gets sent through these routing hubs probably has the same problems. However, I am receiving a lot more 90K errors the last two days.

Anyway, hope for a fix soon! Will also contact Comcast.
