Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[keLston]

ISP: Verizon FIOS
Country of residence: USA - Northeast

Time of occurrence: Evening primetime usually starts by 7pm eastern and lasts well into the night/early morning hours - whether during group play, solo play, in or out of dungeons there will be periods 2-3 seconds of completely stopped gameplay and then everything catches up again - no other parts of my internet service is affected during this time, interestingly even actual P2P isn't affected, I can download files on bittorrent at full speed (did a test on Ubuntu's torrent and pulled it down at 5MB/s) while FFXIV lagged hard

Reference number: Have not yet contacted ISP, was seeing if this was an issue on Square Enix's end especially since this seemed like it got worse after the 3.0 patch

Hangs are happening between hops 9 and 16. This is an occurring issue for a handful of members for my FC. Australia, Singapore, Philippine, Indonesia, and Korea users. While not all, but the same issue is happening to over a dozen users. Can't be coincidence.

Tracing route to 124.150.157.30 over a maximum of 30 hops
