Constantly getting disconnected from the game since Sep 19/20.

Ever since the server instabilities reported in this Lodestone post, I have been having constant disconnections while playing the game. It mostly happens during instanced duty finder content like Frontlines and dungeons, but I've had it happen when I'm in the overworld as well. Luckily, it has not happened so far when I'm raiding with my static, but I feel like it is only a matter of time.

My internet connection is wired and hasn't been changed, and my firewall and anti-virus/anti-malware software settings remain the same. I've tested other online games that require a constant Internet connection and have faced no such issues. The disconnections happen even when I'm talking to friends on Discord, so I've been able to rule out any Internet problems on my end, since I don't get disconnected from Discord while the aforementioned is happening.

Requesting Square Enix to investigate these connectivity issues and to please fix them ASAP. I have never faced these issues before; it only started happening since the server malfunctions from a few days back.

I have also been having connection issues since September 19th. It happens regardless of what I am doing in game. The red disconnect symbol will appear next to my name. Sometimes it goes away on its own, other times I get disconnected with a 90006 error. I am usually able to log back in immediately, but the issue has been ongoing regardless of the time of day.

Similar to Thighdaelyn, my connection is wired and has not changed. All of my router/anti-virus/etc settings have not changed. All other online games and services that I have used recently have worked just fine and the FFXIV disconnects that I have experienced never interrupt any other internet games or services that I have been using at the same time.

I can only wonder if this has something to do with the Typhoon that hit Japan on the 19th and 20th, but then I am left to wonder why that would affect the NA servers.

I've also been experiencing this since September 19th. Like Thighdaelyn and Khuvysh, only FFXIV is affected. I've also contacted my ISP, MATE, who are located in the same city as the Materia data center (Sydney, Australia). They confirm that the issue is not on their / my end.
