Name of ISP: Brighthouse Networks (they use roadrunner, tbone.rr.com)
Country: USA, Florida
Occurrance: Constantly since the servers were expanded
Tickets: Brighthouse would be happy to assist, but after 30 Traceroutes they assured me that the issue is with a service called congentco, and it's true, my MS skyrockets when I hit congentco.com, and it times out by the time it hops to FFXIV ip addresses. My results with tbone.rr.com hops are all 15-20 MS. It was recommended I try to escalate the issue with SE but, I doubt I can do that as there's no true CS path.

Was hoping last night's maintenance would do the trick but the hopes were misplaced. Everyone I -strongly- suggest you inundate SE support with tickets. I've done a lot of research, I even went out and bought a new Modem/Router thinking that would help and boy was I wrong.

Direct connect to a modem with 15 MS / 46 MBPS Down / 2.30 MBPS up and I get

Send 0-300 / Receive 0 to 5000 spikes at all times, either on PC or PS3.


I am being routed to congentco servers (I am a Brighthouse Networks customer), the problem starts when I hit congentco and the timeouts start when it hits SE's IP address for FFXIV.

This is not our ISP's or equipment!
