Still happening even after the explorer changes.

Also tried things others have suggested in the threads on the same topic.

Running Netlimiter 4 with FFXIV set to a critical application.

Tried blocking the screwed up IP at 195.82.50.234 with windows firewall for inbound and outbound traffic in the hope the data would get redirected.

Nothing makes a difference. My ISP says it's not them, SE also say it's not you. Lots of players in several threads with different ISP's in different countries are having this issue. Check the 99 page post in the french technical support forum.

There is definitely a problem just before your server. We can all see it.
