If that can help anyone i found Spotflux that is a VPN tunel, tried it and no more spike lag and disconnect. Hope that will help some other people too.

Lag spike 0 receiving usually ending in error 90000. Weird though I sit next to my wife and get pissed because she has no issues at all. This all started right after your big maintenance on Sept. 4th.

Hello everyone,

Since launching this thread, we've been collecting all the information you've been posting about your various ISPs so that we can work with them to resolve these issues. Remember, please include all of the information requested in the original post so we can best help.

Hi all,

As posted elsewhere before, we are investigating issues that might be caused by ISPs classifying FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn as P2P software.

To give us a clearer view on how widespread this issue is, it would be much appreciated if everyone who experienced such issues could post the following information as a reply to this thread:

- Name of ISP
- Country of Residence
- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?)
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them

Again, my apologies for the trouble this is causing and thank you for your cooperation!

Thank you for your patience on this concern, and please continue to post your information if you continue to run into difficulties with your connection while playing the game.

When does the problem occur: Always

Issue started Tuesday afternoon randomly. Maybe unrelated. Notice dropped packets when pinging Google.com, couple every minute or so.
Worse when i get into the game or do anything streaming. Netflix ect.
Time Warner said that my line was getting low power to it so it might be an actual issue unrelated to this thread. Working with their NOC and got a tech scheduled for Monday.
