Playing a healer is pretty much out of the question, and a tank is not much better. Even my damage output as DD is greatly diminished because I'll be hitting mobs that are still alive on my screen that have long since been dead. This is the only game I have issues with. All other online games run great.

I love this game, but the lag is killing it for me because I can't be a reliable player for anything! Knowing Verizon, they won't do jack about it so it's up to SE. That doesn't exactly make me feel great. All we can do is continue to raise awareness on the issue.
Exact same issue and I am here in central Texas, going through Time Warner Cable. What is weird is when I make it to the Inn the connection is perfectly fine (reading the network info on the top right) but has soon has I go anywhere else whether its a main city or some place way out of the way with little traffic, its the same. Its not a router or wireless issue either, I can run Crunchyroll and YouTube just fine AT THE SAME TIME and no issues, but FFXIV on its own while I actually do connect has lag issues outside of the inn.
