Rubberbanding Starting in Dawntrail

[magCodec]

Ever since the Dawntrail release I've been experiencing severe rubberbanding in just about all content every 3-4 minutes like clockwork. Performing packet loss tests through my ISP to various services shows 0% loss there. I'm on ethernet to gigabit fiber directly on the SLIX (not even to a hub, directly to the source) so my typical ping on a speedtest is 1ms with a consistent 940Mbps down and 940Mbps up; no issues ever on any other game.

I can't for the life of me figure out what happened with Dawntrail though to cause this level of network issue to start cropping up as no other game has these issues, and my network hardware and physical PC specs are as high end as you can possibly get, all in working order as well.

I've already submit a tracert to the packet loss submission just in case, but honestly it's borderline unplayable if I'm guaranteed as tank to eat 3-4 vulnerability stacks because I rubberband during mechanics.

I am experiencing the same problem since yesterday at night approx 21:30pm UK, game is unplayable, packet loss doesn't stop and I keep playing with the game stopping for seconds and coming back.

My internet test result was 938mbps download and 221mbps upload with 1ms to ISP service, everything runs great less FFXIV.

It will be the servers or the Peering to them.
Multiple datacenters and the lobby server even crashed a few days ago because of DDoS attacks. Sadly its ongoing since a few months.

Speedtest does not matter here.

I'm pretty sure there's another DDoS going on, as at least yesterday with some interruptions in between, the latency to the EU datacenters only ever spikes drastically for a period of time, but it only happens to one of the three at the same time as far as I can tell, at least for the EU datacenter, which at least didn't cripple the entire game, but the datacenter server cluster as a whole is experiencing major lag spikes as a result.

But I honestly don't know why SE hasn't already released a statement mentioning some technical issues, it's kind of weird.

Who's your ISP?

Could just be routing issues between your ISP and Square Enix' host.
