Problems with connection (R0) lag

I'm in Hampton Roads, also with Verizon FIOS and have been having terrible lag. It's driving me insane.

Area: US Virginia
ISP: Verizon Fios
Time of occurrence: Pretty much always. Starts out fine, then I get lots of stop and start lag.

VPN doesn't seem to work. Other MMOs such as WoW and Rift work fine and have been working for years.

Pretty much the same thing here.

Location: Virginia
ISP: Verizon

Having no other network issues, but getting serious lag-spikes throughout the day, especially when using duty finder. 3-7 second lag spikes every 15-30 seconds makes tanking dungeons very difficult and needlessly stressful. Just tanked Dzaemel Darkhold, and having to basically keep strafing back and forth trying to guess where Desolate is going to be targeted during a lag spike to avoid a OHKO is pretty ridiculous.


This seriously needs to be addressed, SE.

I have been having similar issues, and I am not entirely sure if it is MY connection or not. I am borrowing internet for the interim from a neighbor who torrents a lot, and I can't be sure if it is his activity that is causing me to have these near-constant R0 spikes or if it's a connection otherwise.

I am living in Maryland, with a local ISP - Antietam Cable. My connection seems fine for every other application. In-game, I'll jump from R0 to R14k and back, with multiple stops in between. It's worse in the larger cities, but I still zero out all over the damn world.

It's not just Virginia and Maryland, it's here in Texas on AT&T as well. Due to the number of complaints about lag the past couple of days, it's likely the servers are struggling again.

The solution I found was to completely exit out and restart your login connection and it'll be fine for a good while, roughly six hours between lag appearances from my experience.

according to most FF players that does not lag, i am a "dumb ass that stands on the welcoming red carpet of death"

Same deal here, duty are a nightmare to do when you lag out every few seconds for a couple seconds and running around the world seeing people being choppy just makes me mad. At first I thought it was maybe my fault, but I log onto WoW or something else and my latency is fine.

Been 7 days now, no fix and no decent response.
Good job SE.

Hello,

I am in the UK.
I can play fine all day but as evening arrives (usually around 7PM my time) I find myself often unable to move and there is often ne response to key presses for up to 5 minutes.
What is extra frustrating is I can see others seemingly moving around me normally.

I hope that this has been noticed and worked on.

Thanks
