Have you tried opening the recommended ports? TCP Ports for FFCIV are: 54992-54994, 55006-55007, and 55021-55040

Telstra Bigpond / Optus / Vodafone (Tried all 3)
Australia
Problem is persistant hours on optus, evening on telstra, evening on vodafone.


I've contacted both square and my main isp (Telstra) about this numerous times, looking at it for over 6 months now, i've narrowed it down to server issues. The problem persists on 4 different installs (i only have access to 4 different pc's) and 3 different internet connections (Phone 4G, Landline Home Broadband, and neighbour's cable connection) It's limited to only FFXIV, I have all ports opened have even disabled security to the point I'm virtually asking to be attacked and test the ports. It gets unstable at a japanese isp, I previously posted all those details only to have my thread ignored and told to post in japanese, when i did i got told off for "Cloning another thread" and it got closed and deleted. so stiff shit, looks like square really don't give a crap about quality of service.

ISP: Verizon FiOS
Location: New York
Server: Balmung
Times: Roughly after 7 PM EST, though I've had days where it's been all day.

Issues seem to be worse in Duty Roulette (though for whatever reason Syrcus Tower is flawless) than out in the world. This is also a very recent issue; up until about a week ago my connection had always been flawless.

ISP:Verizon FIOS
Location: Texas
Server: Excalibur (Primal Data Center)
Times: Every time a new patch comes out, it gets really bad. I have lag that usually gets worse the longer that I am playing. I will restart the game and it seems to help for a little while. But then it gets worse as I continue to play, until there is a good 5-20 seconds where the game will 'freeze', then continue to play, then 'freeze', ect.

I am getting to much constant 90k in the 72 man pvp, Is there something I can do? I play on ps3 I rested my router and called the my isp provider but I still get. I think it's from the recent patch this hasn't happen to me before.

Same issues as others. Game freezes for 5-10 seconds at a time, rights itself, then freezes again...so on and so on...
