For those having problems with RCN - Chat log with customer service Rep.

RCN is the best service I've ever had. I'm in DC and it was an easy choice between them and Comcast.

Thanks for the post. Happy to hear they're aware.

But does this alleviate the issue?

It does for me. It adds some latency but nothing like the lag I went through in the 2nd to last main scenario instance last night. I wouldn't even consider trying the last instance with my FC due to the lag. I don't consider this a true fix, but it is playable for now.

Yeah, RCN is pretty boss.

The fact that they knew this game was having problems showed they are on it. I've heard more communication about this from them than Yoshi P I must say, but since I'm paying RCN and not Yoshi P yet, it's fine.

I know it isn't RCN because beta and first launch, I had zero problems either logging in or staying logged in. After patch, I couldn't even stay logged in for few minutes. It's better now because it stretched out to 45 minutes before 90000, then I get to stretch legs then come back and fish some more.

I guess I'll have to thank SE; if it wasn't for code 90000, I wouldn't have touched my fishing at all. Now I'm nearing 20 so I won't have to buy much fish from the market after a bit.

I have RCN in the DC area as well, but I haven't encountered any problems playing FFXIV on the PS3, except for some occasional lag. Can someone bring me up to date on the issue? My character is located on a European server.

I am using US server 67.168.91.158.

Which program are you using? I've tried spotflux but the server it automatically redirects me to doesn't work. I've tried using an other IP like the server you're giving but it seems it won't let me use it unless I give it a port as well. =/

I'm also a RCN user in the DC area. My husband and I are definitely having lag problems. Nothing constant, but staggered enough in 5 - 10 minute intervals, which almost always end up with one of us getting booted by the 90000 error after a half an hour or hour. Considering how we've never had lag problems (and didn't until this SE update,) it obviously is just this game. I just finished talking to a service representative and they too said they're aware of the issue. They just wanted my address so they could add it to their resources as they attempt to fix the problem.

<3 RCN. So glad we went with them and not Comcast.

Just saw that thread! Thanks for letting me know though! Hopefully everything gets fixed on Square's end. It doesn't seem to be RCN's problem.
