Optus DCs

Having the same issue.

I just did a ping test on the 2 JP data centre servers and ran them for a minute each.

neolobby05.ffxiv.com (124.150.157.156) had 61 sent 53 received at a 13% package loss

neolobby01.ffxiv.com (124.150.157.158) had 62 sent 49 received at a 21% package loss

Did a typical one with google as well even using the US site despite my DNS probably resolving it back to AU. Had 0% packet loss after a minute.

The fact that it only happens during prime times I'm guessing means Optus's route to Japan is getting conjested as using a VPN to connect to Japan still gives me the same issue. Maybe they just don't have the desire or funds to have an as efficient route / connection to JP.

It is probably just the lead up to the Olympics and during the Olympics that is causing a huge bandwidth issue on the optic fibre in and out of Japan at the moment with broadcasters getting better QoS.

Should hopefully be back to normal on the 9th or soon after

At least I hope it is only that and it will be back to normal soon
