Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Riguel]

Having the same issue here as I was last night. Made the game unplayable, even doing stuff on island sanctuary it was taking 5-15 seconds to register picking up one material. Even trying to do dungeons with Trusts, they are lagging in attacks and their movement is choppy, getting hit by aoes and some attacks/heals not registering at all.

I am on the east coast and also having the lag issues. Even Limsa has observable lag. I would love to finish my moogle tome farming and Pvp series before patch 6.4 but it would be inconsiderate to play with lag this bad.

Horrible lag persisting since yesterday. I'm in Southern Louisiana and have AT&T fiber internet 600Mbps download and upload speeds and this is the worst lag I have ever seen in a year and a half playing. Cannot run any duties and game mostly unplayable.

Can confirm this. I just got disconnected causing me to loose a levemete. I'm using AT&T Fiber Optics 500mps, and I am having terrible lag in game, no issue anywhere but when I play Realm Reborn.

Anyone using PIA (Private Internet Access) VPN, I've found the following nodes get around this problem:

• USA
  • US Michigan
  • US Iowa
• Canada
  • Sorry all 4 nodes failed.
• Argentina (Seems no packet loss but average ~120ms pings)

So yeah, either PIA host almost everything at ATT datacenters or ATT just controls to much of the backbone. I'm guessing the latter.

Those solved the problem for me for a few hours but the problem is back now. Super unfortunate
Edit: also on AT&T Fiber

South Louisiana with AT&T. definitely have major lag spikes in instanced content. Not cool - especially right before the end of the tomestone event & right before the 6.4 patch. Hope they get it fixed soon and figure out a way to not have us lose out on the ability the farm tomes & gather materials before the patch.

Strange. I'm using the Michigan one right now and it's solid 62ms smooth ping. 60-62 has been normal for me without a VPN ever since some change NTT did in early April. Was 55ms before then.

AT&T Fiber, Midwest. Same 120ms ping with 20% packet loss when normal is 60ms. Instanced content is unplayable in this state. We've all experienced the NTT node hiccuping for a few hours once a quarter, maybe an entire night during primetime every so often. But it's now been over 2 days since it started and no communication or resolution ... hope it gets resolved before the patch.

Same here! ATT Fiber, PST. Good to hear I'm not the only one!

I'll add my post to the pile. I commented on the Reddit thread already, but I'm with AT&T as well. A friend who lives 15 minutes away with a different ISP is unaffected and she's usually the one with lag. I tried doing some gathering to test it out today since any delays would be very obvious. It seems slightly better, but slightly better from unplayable still isn't good.

It is very weird that there has been no notice on the lodestone at all about it since even game news writers have gotten wind of it by now.
