Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Science66]

I'm on Crystal/Diabalos and it's lagging quite hard. I tried to pull up my adventure plate, 2 minutes went by, I did a guildhest, then when I got out of the guildhest the plate popped up.

Can confirm. 600ms plus response times from NTT again. Come on SE, time do dump these guys.

That won't ever happen. NTT is owned and operated out of Japan so I'm assuming SE has some good deals with them. It's why SE moved the NA servers from Canada to Cali a few years back so they could host at an NTT datacenter.

They had also reached the limits of what they could expand in the Canada location too, also part of the reason why they moved.

We're back! I saw a reddit post about lag and thought it was for spectrum users this time, but alas. Queued for some raiding and couldn't do anything due to lag. (AT&T customer.) Come on SE. This is ridiculous, it's been like, 2 months?

Today I post my issues with the lag on this game. Since day 1 I was agaisnt the move due to the move are "Not Fair" for the NA community overall and felt one sided. SE, you got 10 or 8 years for this game. It time to put East Coast servers. Your provider can have a east coast servers in NY. Stop being cheap and spend money to gain more money.

Happening again, charter spectrum. Traceroute puts me at ~150 ping.

Yup, same here 217 ms. Spectrum as well. Got the gig internet and everything else we're doing is just fine... just not FFXIV.

It was bad early today- had to log off. Was hoping it'd be better now. Nope.

Yeah I'm having micro-stuttering with latency around 160-202ms...doesn't make the game unplayable but slightly less enjoyable. Thing is that it has to be on the game's side as nothing else is having this issue. Discord's ping is low, spotify's ping is low, my browser's ping is low when on twitch, etc. I just hope it gets ironed out so all of us can have a better time in game.

Another here to chime in that it's also happening to me (with isp being Spectrum). Things were fine this morning (around 8/9am MST), but logging in tonight (7pm) is just horrid and really hard to do most things without some sort of input or character lag. Traceroute for all 4 NA DCs puts me at between 165 and 200ms.
