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.

Occurs almost all the time now.

[Compassion]

ISP: Time Warner Cable
Country of Residence: Dallas, TX USA
Occurrence: Today, DC'd and then cannot connect to lobby server 2002. I was on all day yesterday and most of today and then it became really laggy which led into a DC. Afterwards, I can't connect to the lobby server 2002 and if it somehow gets pass that, I'm unable to connect to NA/EU worlds.

Update:
Chatted with technical support and I asked if they throttled or blocked FFXIV. I mentioned there have been reports of ISPs recognizing it as P2P software. They said no they don't block and can access all games. However, they didn't mention anything about throttling... Makes me wonder.
