Cross-posting this wherever I can that might help. I am honestly at my wits end. I’ve been having SEVERE lag, and it feels like it’s getting worse. It used to only be slightly annoying and only in instanced content. Now it’s happening in the overworld too, and instances can be almost entirely unplayable. I’ve been playing since ARR and never experienced these issues until about a few weeks ago. It happens every day and doesn’t seem any better or worse at any particular time. I’m located in California and play on Aether. Sometimes I get a 90002 or more often a 90006 error and disconnect.
-We were between updates when it happened, and it didn’t seem to coincide with any update in particular.
-The most recent update which happened after it began did not solve the issue.
-My hardware hasn’t changed at all, and the game was fine until just the last few weeks as I said.
-I am playing via an ethernet connection on PC. The most change that seems to coincide the most with this happening is that my sister also connected her work PC to the modem via Ethernet, but unplugging her computer from the modem didn’t solve the problem.
-I also experience this issue tethered to my phone.
-I also experience slight lag on my gaming laptop in instanced content, both over the wifi and ethernet connection.
-My download speed is 180Mbps at worst. Currently I’m getting 310Mbps and still having severe instance lag.
-Here’s what I get with tracert 204.2.229.9: https://gyazo.com/e65a95d551e1c1d54d6a71dc6f476b01
-I also ran a continuous ping for a few minutes:

-Friend in the same town with the same ISP(Comcast) is having no issues
Some things I have tried to fix it, not necessarily in this order:
-Reinstalling the game
-ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /renew (several times)
-Port forwarding and Internet Explorer changes as suggested here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4509081
-Changing UPnP in FFXIV.cfg from 1 to 0
-Setting the program to run as administrator (both the default and DX11)
-Allowing it through my firewall (default and DX11)
-Updating my graphics card driver
-Updating Windows
-Resetting my modem
-Contacting my ISP. They made some remote changes to my modem that didn’t seem to fix it.
-Using WTFast
-Using Mudfish
-Running CCleaner because why not
-Doing a system restore
-Disconnecting from the datacenter and reconnecting to it
-Removing programs and such added to my computer since around when it began
At this point I no longer know what to do. It doesn’t seem like it’s happening with any other game.
