I did noticed the same effects my ISP does to me when I do torrent, I get DC'd a lot and lagging during in-game time then excessively slow internet for quite some time after exiting FFXIV.

- COMCAST
- Colorado, USA
- Always happens, but since I'm on during Peak hours, it seems to happen around that time.
- I did not bring it up with them, because I know they throttle my internet when I do torrent stuff. So I was hoping maybe SE could contact them and clear this up with them, thank you.

You seem to all have country with shitty policy about internet, sadly ...
I can't believe that much people are been throttling by their ISP, that is unbelievable ... meanwhile their ads channel flood the whole world.

I have massive fast internet that I pay for. It is super fast and I never have had a single problem connecting to ANY game ever (providing the game is in working condition and made by competent folk).

Provider = Time Warner Cable
Reside = NY USA
I can only connect to the JP servers (I assume this is JAPAN right? On the OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET FROM ME). I have gotten error codes 2002, 90000, 10102, 1017. I have been able to create characters on Cactuar and Midgardsormr. Sometimes I see the NA servers, sometimes I do not. For the last SEVERAL hours whenever I try to log into a NA server I get 1017. Even though I have created characters on the 2 NA servers I have yet to be able to log them into a server.

I assure you I am not being Throttled, I can assure that your game is broken and you should fix it.

I purchased my PHYSICAL copy of the game at a gamestop store this morning 8/31/13 at 10am Eastern Time.
