Increase in ping and lag

[SoloD007]

That's pretty funny

But looks like hop 6 is the interesting thing here. Would your ISP shed light on this?

As far as I know. I remember when I use to play on JP data center from Oceania. I did a trace route and the packet of data had to route to Hong Kong first before it can route to Japan data center. So In this case, I believe it's a routing issue in square-enix network setting. But, to why it routes to other data center location after routing to JP such as U.S and EU and then back to AU. I wouldn't have a clue. Lol.

P.S I did ping and tracert to another AU server and I'm getting around 40 - 45 ms ping so. It's definitely not an issue with my ISP.
