Sudden Lag & Packet Loss

[OMGWTFBBQchicken]

Are there any updates you can share?

Changed my dns from cloudflare back to google but nothing changed.

I ran a norm raid but it was the same. Ping shows 30ms with a couple peaks to 200ms, but for the most part stayed 30ish even while I was rubberbanding lol.

I used a VPN and it worked. It makes the game playable and I did a tracert and there is no packet loss. Used Norton built in VPN btw. If I take off the VPN then i get packet loss. It is definitely frontier at this point and something or one of the nodes they are routing through.

To give you an idea, without the VPN extreme rubberbanding. with the VPN i could play the game on GNB and MCH.

Same thing as above
Southern California Frontier
30 Ping to the crystal Data center showed a 5% packet loss
traceroute showed a request timeout at hops 8 and 14 (server in 15 hops)

Confirming this is happening to me as well
Socal, Frontier Internet.

My discord lags as well so I don't think it's just FFXIV...

From the looks of it its SoCal Frontier at peak hours since that is most of us in this thread.

I contacted Frontier this morning to which they basically said it wasn't on their end and call the Router's company because it's probably on them instead. Which I doubt....

Contacted Frontier and they basically said it isn't on us. Hopefully Square fixes this before Savage release because it is impossible to play.

Located in SOCAL experiencing constant packet loss after 5:00pm since patch day. Already sent in a report so hopefully that helps

Same issue seems to be a routing issue/node Frontier is using during peak hours.

Can confirm that it's not just FFXIV. Valorant I'm getting rubberbanding and inconsistent VOIP

Yeah I checked by doing Tracerts to multiple MMO servers. They all came up with packet loss. Even youtube was buffering and lagging on loading thumbnails. This is 100% a Frontier Issue but like always their technical support has no clue what to do or how to even troubleshoot besides "reset router/modem".
