Hi, Currently I have been involved in FF:XIV with some friends of mine. Problem being, there seems to be some sort of weird route overload between many ISP's and Square's Datacenter in Canada. Mainly all the friends I know with issues are using Verizon Fios. Stems from a hop at Alter.net and there seems to be several threads about it, not only relating to FF:XIV. So we ran into a program called WTFast, which basically in my mind is a glorified VPN client. But it does solve the issues they are having. The program costs $6 dollars a month to use. I told them I could probably come up with a solution for a lot less.
So if others think this is a option, I would love to find a VPS in NY(NYC,Buffalo) or just north in Canada. This will only be used for VPN, looking to pay monthly only. I use to see all the 128MB deals all the time but sadly can not seem to find any. Would love to pay less then $2 dollars monthly if possible.
Stats from the game: According to WTFast, this thing is using less then 2Kb/s to play the game, assuming this is one way, Assume 4 Kb/s. My rough estimate for Bandwidth was no more then 50-100Kb/s for a couple of users on at once and around 80GB of transfer a month.
Would love some suggestions.
