The people that get routed through TATA are the ones having issues for the most part. In short, SQUARE needs to fire them, and relocate.

Is there some way to test to see if that's the case? And why do some get routed via TATA but not others?

The game is unplayable for me over my wifi.

I use wifi to remote desktop and browse and torrent with no issues. Since mid-September it has been an impossibility to play FFXIV over it for much more than a minute or two. Note that before this, from 1.0 through ARR Alpha, Beta, Early Access and the first couple of weeks of launch, I had no problems playing over wifi at all.

If I plug in via cable, I have no problems either.

It could well be a problem with my router, but the other functions work fine. I wonder if there is some sort of extra-heavy data requirement or packet-loss detection or something that was added in mid-Sept which has caused the issue.

(I only post here because a few hundred pages ago, I thought it might have been my ISP)

The ISPs aren't at fault, it's all on SE. This issue is the same as the 401 and 601 payment errors that they refuse to fix. I hope this will make it to the media.
