I've been having nasty lag spikes and error 90000 disconnects fairly regularly since the game launched. I've gone through two routers and had Comcast techs go through everything twice as well, as well as having my connection on a plotter for several days. My signal is never dropping. Everything is "okay" as far as they can tell.

I find it hard to believe that people are claiming they've never had a second of lag while playing this game, but I digress.

My question is.. when I check my resource monitor, it will usually show two ffxiv.exe listings under tcp connections, both going to the same remote address. One will have anywhere from 40-100 ms, and the other is almost always 150+. I live in new England, tracerts to the ffxiv na datacenter are almost always in the 20-30ms range. I have left this running and checked it quickly during large lag spikes and disconnects, and I have never seen any kind of packet loss.

What gives? Can anyone explain the discrepancy between what I should be getting and what I am actually getting, and does anyone have ANY idea what else I can do to fix these issues? It's infuriating because I have never had these kinds of issues with any other mmo that I can remember, and it's severely taking away from my enjoyment of what otherwise would be a great experience.
