Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[mylegshurt]

- Comcast
- U.S.A.
- All the time
- No ref #, but I'm sure it's them. Internet connection dies when running FFXIV, and is absolutely fine when closed. It was fine during beta...

- Name of ISP: Time Warner Cable (Turbo Package)
- Country of Residence: USA
- When does the problem occur: Well firstly my issue is that I get not only 1017 but now 90000 after it was said to have been fixed on the 1st, and is reported as being fixed under Technical Support. It occurs... all day today and yesterday from the 1st now to the 2nd... I can spam, occasionally hop in-game if I'm lucky, and then not even 10mins later I get the 90000 error.

I don't think it's my ISP. At all - because my fiance plays and has had NO 90000 errors. I have been steadily getting disconnected since .. forever.

@Aethingie: Perhaps the original post could be edited to describe the exact nature of the throttling issue (very severe lag / freeze up when talking to NPCs, attack damage taking several seconds to a minute to apply, player characters moving in unison very fast then coming to a halt repeatedly (rubber banding).

It seems many have misinterpreted the error 1017 and 90000 to be related to the ISP throttling issues. Really keen to see this resolved as each evening I can log in but I'm unable to play due to throttling / lag. Would be great if we can focus on the ISP throttling issue here only as the 1017 and 90000 issues have already been addressed publicly by Yoshi-P.

EDIT: no offense to any who are posting about the log in errors here. It's just a separate issue (and in fact a far lesser one for those experiencing ISP throttling) so please check the following posts which explain the proposed resolution of those issues which should start taking effect next week:

It's been a while since we've heard from someone at Tech Support about this.

I just wanted to know if we can get an update on the ISP P2P throttling issue?

Yes I've been checking this thread very often lol! I understand if it takes time to get an update, but any indication that the issue is still being looked into is always reassuring

This is the lamest thread I have seen. So no SE is trying to blame your isp? Shame on your SE. Fix the problem. Don't try to blame it on others.

Personally, I think that these misunderstandings wouldn't happen as much if people read the thread linked to the first post.

to be honest, I don't think editing the OP at this stage will make any difference, we're on page 18 now, I somehow don't think too many people are going to trouble themselves with even reading the OP and just assume that it's an attempt at diversion.

I'm not expecting anybody to get themselves up to date with what this thread is about, but for those that do wish to research the point, take a look at this thread
