Hey fellow WoLs!

As the title implies, i'm currently living in Florida AND i play on PS5. i never had noticeable ping issues when i originally started playing FF14 on PS4 while living in San Diego while connected to the Primal DC back in 2018. shortly after moving to FLorida and getting into raiding i moved my main character to Aether DC.

The announcement that the Cloud DC servers were going to be located on the East Coast is very exciting news to me but unfortunately upon creating a test character on Cloud Test 02 server and reading the books for GNB, MCH, and MNK (all my favorite high APM jobs) and testing their kits on striking dummies, i genuinely don't feel any difference in terms of latency and i'm still hard clipping on double weaves between GCDs.

I sent a few shout chats in Limsa Lominsa and people from Canada and EU claimed they have noticeably better latency/ping and i just can't seem to relate. For context, i live in an area where the only ISPs are AT&T and Comcast and they have literally zero fiber internet infrastructure here.

Does anyone know how i would go about testing my latency/ping to Cloud DC on PS5? Any reasonable advice that doesn't require me investing in a PC setup? or am i just doomed to play low APM jobs that dont have alot of oGCDs to avoid clipping?
