No doubt. And as always, MTR's like this can potentially help see the problems for what they are.

I also have frontier, but am only experiencing this issue with FFXIV. There's a bunch of packet loss when the connection moves over to the NTT servers on the route to SE servers.
ICMP is normally QOSed down in priority to real data, so the loss numbers are not too surprising, although Level3 is implicated there as the cause - as usual.

The STD Deviation on your packets is the more useful indication in this case, and the worst you show there is 4ms - which is nothing. Sadly it looks like it's at 10pm, so maybe not as informative as something done at say 7pm when the Std Deviation will be much more informative.

Also connecting to my VPN server does not resolve the issue, as it's still routed through the affected NTT servers in cali.
Sadly NTT provide DC services to SE, so it's going to be impossible to skip those. And getting SE involved with their provider (NTT) needs hard evidence - and a lot of it - in the form of traceroutes or better MTRs while the lag is happening as they asked for.



In general advice, to everyone, as always the "me too" posts are pretty meaningless and won't solve the problem. It's the best advice anyone can give to start up a traceroute or better yet an MTR during peak and get some hard evidence, post that and slowly (because it does take time to gather enough evidence) everyone can hone in on where the problem is.
