Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[Mika_Stoneheart]

What I don't understand is with all these Verizon Complaints why am I the only one on the Verizon FIOS forums trying to do anything about it?

Go make some accounts there people as back me up.

- Name of ISP: Clearwire (4G Cellular Internet)
- Country of Residence: USA (Rhode Island)
- When does the problem occur: Daily since 3.0 Early Access began, mainly from 6pm-Midnight EDT
- Reference number from your ISP: Unable to obtain technical support. Clear was bought by Sprint who will mothball the entire service in November, and they refuse to assist.

On that last point - it's probably pointless to try figuring this out now. I'll be switching to a new ISP within a month or two.

The problem only occurs on Final Fantasy XIV. I play various Blizzard games, Steam games, and League of Legends. Only FFXIV gives me issues.

Is this thread even getting info gathered?

There was a thread from 2 years ago also and I find if I perform a traceroute, that I find the issue is the same. The reason I lag is TATA Communications, not because my ISP is treating FFXIV as P2P.

-Verizon Fios
-Maryland, U.S.A (Close to D.C area) Almost every time I log in ever since 3.01 patch. It's been getting worse and worse with lag spikes from 3-8 seconds long. Had no issues prior to this patch. It's almost unplayable at this point needs to be addressed A.S.A.P.!
-Did not contact my ISP because it only happens with this game. I can run a dozen twitch streams and Netflix streams and youtube vids all at once if I wanted too and not even one issue.

- Name of ISP: Telstra
- Country of Residence: Australia
- When does the problem occur: Happens all day long, ever since the emergency maintenance that occurred this week. Progressively gets worse as the day edges to peak hour, but significant packet loss at all times during the day now.
- Reference number from your ISP: n/a. Spoke to them online, they insist its not their issue.

Tracing to the JP servers indicates a large issue with a JP ISP or service route there.
