    Should check for packet lost, if you're on cable there is a known to packet lost on bad modem there is a list here (https://stickystatic.com/tech/bad-modem-test). MMO games are pretty sensitive due to amount of activities happens in front of your screen.

    wouldnt i have issues in other games to? its literally just XIV that i have this issue with no other games including other MMO's i experience this issue on. also to note i have tested that with a VPN and these issues go away. i live in Colorado too so i dont know why a vpn would be needed. the issue is i like to play on my PS5 and i can't use the VPN on it.

    Yeah, I have been there. Not sure why this is always an issue for me on Cable. Level3 (example) datacenter always get random hiccup and packet lost. When you use VPN it route differently by pass certain server traces. Right now I'm on fiber - entirely on different network nodes.

    XIV is pretty sensitive to packet loss, so this could be why youre experiencing such hiccups. There's basically what amounts to a road-jam in between XIV and certain cable companies - and considering Colorado's location, it seems that you're probably encountering that road jam. XIV's reps *could* talk with reps from the ISPs and maybe possibly fix it, but considering how much ISPs have degraded over the years with decreased regulations and increased monopolization, that's not likely to happen (they won't lose much money - XIV still needs them to provide the service to consumers, consumers will still need internet and are likely to either be locked in a contract or locked regionally by increased monopolization, and ISPs are all about providing "good 'nuff" service to as much people as possible by spending as little money as possible - and to fix this would cost money.)
