Optus DCs

[simshadows]

Can confirm, I'm living in Sydney with the home internet on Optus NBN, and Japanese FFXIV servers are completely unplayable while American FFXIV servers are perfectly fine. I'm getting around the problem by using mobile data.

I don't know anyone else with Optus playing FFXIV, but friends who are with other ISPs have no such problems.

When contacting Optus about it, their first reply was an inappropriately enthusiastic message about their Game Path service. Leaves a sour taste when considering that this entire thing may be a deliberate attempt at pulling new Game Path subscriptions.

May be shopping for a new ISP soon.

If this is the case, Optus is very fucked up. Wonder if we can report Optus to ACCC

Hello, just to let you all know. American servers are having the same problem. If you check here:

I play on American Server and Im having packet loss with FF servers. It only happens with FF. Its a month now and the problem still. There we are discussing that FF servers are getting overloaded cuz we have so many new players joining us.

For now, staff still dont recognize this problem but more and more players are reporting the same issue everyday.
