Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Krojack]

PIA VPN on either the Michigan or Chicago node has been working for me today but now even that's starting to lag.

Chicago one hasn't caused me any trouble. I'll also use either the Iowa or Silicon Valley.

Seem my post here with all the ones I've tested to work

you all need to grow up about this problem if they will not fix this then take your money and find a better internet service that does work for you like spectrum.

It's not a question of 'growing up', there are many areas in the country where there's only one choice available for internet.

For some people that might be a viable option if things don't change, but others--like myself--only have one choice of ISP either due to locality or extenuating circumstances (for example, the apartment community I live in has a contracted deal with AT&T, I don't get a choice).

Beyond that though, people are upset and frustrated that Square is not communicating with us. Even if I could change ISPs, and did so, it still wouldn't change the fact that Square clearly doesn't respect their playerbase enough to even give us public acknowledgement of the on-going issue, besides a single tweet. That's going to put off a lot of people regardless.

You do know that not everyone can just up and switch ISPs, right? Like, there's lots of regions where one ISP has a service monopoly. That isn't a hard concept to grasp... is it?
Or, y'know, other ISP's traffic could also route through those NTT nodes and possibly be impacted. While it largely seems to be AT&T customers affected, there do seem to be other folks affected as well.

Grow up, indeed. Yeesh.

I can tell you that this issue also occurs on Spectrum. So, please spare us the "switch to a different ISP" dabble.
This image below occurred on the 11th of May and my VPN provider (ExitLag) couldn't get around this hiccup.

It just blows my mind that on our way to the FF14 server you go though 7 other hops INSIDE the ntt.net datacenter first.

As someone who as worked in networking for ~15 years, this is just one disgusting network setup.

That sucks, I guess I'm lucky since my spectrum line is the one that doesnt seem to be experiencing the issue.

I had spectrum for years, they are complete trash that is also WAY over priced for the speeds.

I would literally have packet loss that would come and go at during the same hours every day. They kept blaming my internal network. They would come out and "run test" but always do that when the problem wasn't happening during the evening hours. I would tell them, "The problem isn't happening now but will start around 8pm tonight and go till midnight." but they would do the normal "everything is working fine"

Also I was paying $80/month for 100 down and 10 up. Now I have 300/300 for $55 a month. I would rather cancel my FF14 sub than go with Spectrum again.

Also many people only have 1 high speed internet provider option where they live.

Was able to play with no issues today using Cloudflare Warp. Turned it off for the night when I was done and, well... Ping and packet loss go brrrrrrr.
Instant spike in both, as per usual. Tried to run a dungeon with Warp turned off out of curiosity and yep, right back to teleporting, rubber-banding nonsense.
