- 2-7 second freezes/lag spikes/rubber-banding every 20-60 seconds almost any time I get on. Highly unplayable. No problem with other online games.

*Also note, while running a ping tracert via the windows command prompt to the NA data center, I get an 11% packet loss in just ONE of the two PaloAlto.as6453.net jumps I go through. My ping also jumps from 12 ms in LA, to 102 ms in Palo Alto. There is only a 300 mile difference between the 2 jump locations, why does Palo Alto ping higher than the 90 ms response from MONTREAL, CANADA? Palo Alto is 300 miles away, Montreal is 3000.

Hello, I've been getting this problem within the last few days.

Country: Australia
ISP: Primus
Happens: very randomly, I can log in days without any problem. Then the next day all I have are problem, reset PC, reset router, restart game over and over and nothing will fix the problem, just have to wait it out till it fixes itself..

I some times use a VPN service just to be able to sit around and chat with friends, but the game is not playable through the VPN as it just increases the lag and cant run out AOEs and the like.

At all times very frequently, lag spikes of 5-10 seconds. I just moved 2 weeks ago and had to get Comcast. My issues only started 2 weeks when I logged on with Comcast for the first time. ATT previously had no issues.

Started happening after patch 2.1, never had it before that.
Lags every 10 -30 seconds for 1-4 seconds and then speeds up

I called Verizon and they said there's nothing they can do about it and to contact Square Enix about this issue
