Thank you Raist, that is actually something that had skipped my mind.

I'm not sure where I should be running the tracert to for the Balmung server specifically (or if I even need to) but a quick Google of "Final Fantasy 14 tracert" brought this old topic from 1.0 up http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Network-Delay

So I ran it to traceip.finalfantasyxiv.com

Anyroad, here it is:

I'm not sure if that's good or bad or what it means. All I can really gather from it is the ms spikes highest between lax and asianetcom, which is understandable.
