Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

As expected, AT&T's response is to point a finger back at Square and NTT and say we need to reach out to them.

I'm going to open yet another support ticket with SE. Not that I expect anything to come of it, but I figure I can at least be a continual support issue for them if they're going to continue to refuse to acknowledge the issue and bounce us back and forth to AT&T. What a joke of a situation.

Unfortunately as others pointed out it seems all we can do is speak with our wallets. My sub was due to renew next week and I cancelled. Placing another ticket just got SE to tell me to check my ethernet cable despite referencing this post.

From the response of the "expert"(not even an AT&T employee), it's an issue between both NTT and ATT. Everyone really does suck here.

I did a traceroute, and found NTT screwing up. Googled NTT outage issues and found this thread. Glad to see I'm not alone seeing the network issues with FF14. Not glad to see people are having issues. Hopefully NTT can get this resolved :P

We're still in it, huh. I've got about a week and a half left on my sub, and I don't think this will be resolved by the time it expires. Ah, well.

My current trace route (and for reference, I'm up on Lake Erie):

My ping is better connecting to the European data centers than it is the NA ones. Yikes.

Guys. Just use Mudfish. It's extremely cheap and there are multiple nodes to choose from so if one doesn't work out just pick another one.

I know it's far more unintuitive than other VPNs though.

Not everyone can use a VPN sadly. Console doesn’t let you add one and AT&T blocks all of the work arounds that would potentially allow you to use one on your PS. Some people might also not have the extra funds for a second sub to something they shouldn’t even need to be able to play in the first place.

Definitely if you can use a VPN I encourage it and Im happy for everyone who has that option, but at the end of the day what we need is for something to be done and to not allow this problem to get swept under the rug.

Honestly confused why or what they block. From my research they only block ports that spammers abuse.

It's already been pointed out, but yes console players can't use a VPN. Regardless PC players shouldn't have to use a VPN either.

ATT pretty much said definitively that it's an NTT issue on one of the threads of their forum(the problem node is outside their network). If that's actually true, we're not NTT's customer. SE is, they're the ones who will have to pressure NTT to fix it.

And since we still hadn't had any real communication outside of "call your ISP" I don't think we're looking at a resolution anytime soon.

Yeah I'm using a VPN but we shouldn't have to use a VPN to play a game we already pay a sub for.

I check every day before I turn the VPN on and it's still consistently high latency and packet loss on the same schedule.
