Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

I suspected last night may just have been because people in the US would be traveling for Memorial Day. They've likely gotten to their vacation spots now and logged in.


Back to the Honolulu VPN server I go

I have been having major issues like the rest of us on at&t and have submitted tickets, called at&t and tried to get things resolved and we all know how that went. I gave up and went with a vpn (PIA) and it was working much better with the vpn with the different locations in previous postings. This afternoon, however, even with the VPN I am now having the same issues that I had without it. I will keep changing locations but I am now getting disconnects in game and huge lag spikes worse than ever. I have a feeling it is because of the weekend more people are on game but it is now unplayable with a vpn which i had to pay for on top of the game monthly subscription. Not sure what to try and about to give up on playing ffxiv as it does not seem like it is going to be fixed anytime soon. This is unacceptable but here we are.

I'm using PIA as well. Try Honolulu. It doesn't hit that 129.250.7.57 IP and at least for me that seems to make all the difference.

Maybe huffing some hard hopium, but perhaps they have the root caused nail down and will be able to replicate whatever they did last night?

The pessimism in me is saying this issue isn’t getting fix in a timely manner.

[TermNerdy]

We have had a few bursts of lag as well over here using 1.1.1.1 (my wife and I)

Its not as bad as without Warp but its still happening again.

Now it seems Nord VPN is back to normal and I have excellent connection once again.

Going to try another alliance raid here in a bit to see if it really is working.

Looks like I'm experiencing lag again, but at the moment it doesn't appear as bad as it was before on my end. It appears to be slightly less frequent.

So I've been told that this has something to do with Silicon Valley Banks getting shut down and causing tech issues. This happened back in March and now its slowly affecting everything techwise. So apparently this is a big california issue as well.

Not sure how true this is, but this is what a friend informed me of. Would explain why NTT says there is an NDA.

The lag is coming from inside the house! /s

Seriously though, I'm even lagging on 1.1.1.1 now. What on earth...

Free/public VPNs are going to lag, that's to be expected. Especially ones that are made for "normies" and just have a single button to enable globally on your system instead of including options to let you choose to only route certain executables through the connection, so there's gonna be bandwidth wasted by users who want to also watch videos and/or download big stuff during prime hours.
I would recommend you to try something else. I went back to my old reliable method of just making a proxy with AWS (free 12 month trial) and launched an ec2 instance in US west-1 (N. California). I haven't experienced lag since.

I'm having a harder and harder f-ing time finding a working VPN to work around this garbage where is the damn fix already?!?! Cancelling the sub if not fixed by June I'm FINALLY DONE

[Elizara]

Yeah the ick is back:



I have not logged on due to I'm JUST home from the con. Still wiped, physically. Let's hope this bloody lag is almost over tho, by the Twelve.

Also if you're wondering, the ping at the end is always 100% packet loss for me, but if it's all green, then I know I'm fine.
