If this persists past the next main patch and no long term solution is found i may consider removing my sub. I enjoy the game, content, friends etc but feel this should not be an issue regardless where you connect from or what platform you're on. SE have a responsibilty to their playerbase and should set a fire under AT&T/NTT for such persistant issues because god forbid this becomes a more serious and widespread issue and causes them a massive headache.
I’m having the same issues with the same timeline. I'm in central USA using AT&T fiber playing on Primal and FFXIV is literally my only internet issue. My issues begin at ae-2.r24.lsanca07.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.7.69]/ae-5.a01.scrmca03.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.2.7].

Without a VPN, the game is like a slideshow with 5-10+ second delay spikes. I used to be able to reduce the delay to 1-2 seconds using a VPN, but I’m now getting 2-4+ seconds of delay at best, often with dropped input.
