- Name of ISP - EE

- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?) Most of the time in high crowded areas as opposed to time frames.. But perhaps it gets worse past 7

[PugCondoin]

ISP: BT (British Telecom)
Country: United Kingdom
Time of day: Heavy lags from 7pm (GMT+1) which makes the game unplayable, usually stops around 11pm.

No lag during any other time of day or night however I am dreading the coming weekend

Would be good to hear whether SE plan to contact BT to address this issue. I have tried to speak to them but they are a bunch of useless idiots who are convinced that running speedtest proves that this is not a problem on their network

Check out this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...t-UK-ISP-BT-EE

There have been a couple of responses from the mods, stating that they are currently working with BT and Orange/EE on this issue.

this thread itself was started by a Mod, so that they can get an idea of the ISPs that treat the game as P2P software and therefore throttle it.

Rest assured, friend. They're working on it
