Connectivity of UK Users

[SJRKnowledge96]

I just wanted to see how many users from the UK are able to connect to the game, and what ISPs you're using.

As for me, it's Sky Broadband, and I've had no luck whatsoever.

[nanamin]

Not UK, but neighboring country Sweden. I haven't been able to connect, and I still can't connect. ISP is Comhem. I know one other guy on this forum from Sweden and also on the same ISP not being able to connect.

I've heard you folks have been having a lot of trouble as of late.

[Asuka~]

I'm from the UK. I haven't been able to connect to PSO2 since the servers re-opened as well as now, unless I use a VPN or something. I've been using PingZapper recently but that suddenly stopped working for me and a friend of mine at the same time and we constantly get "Server connection has timed out." So... yeah.

[SilkaN]

I've been using PingZapper recently but that suddenly stopped working for me .

Trial account. Stops working after some time.

[Mracless]

I'm in the UK. Also using sky broadband.

Haven't been able to connect.

Tracert of pso2.jp doesn't even get past my router...

I'd say that things aren't looking good, but I'll have to get more results before coming to a full-blown conclusion. But it does appear to be a bit of a bad thing for us.

[SJRKnowledge96]

Tracert of pso2.jp doesn't even get past my router...

That is exactly what happens to me. o.o

[Asuka~]

That is exactly what happens to me. o.o
Same thing happens to me too. ;_;

[Asuka~]

Never mind, PingZapper is working for me. The server probably died for a little while lols.

[Incendi0]

UK resident here, virgin media broadband, no luck at any point since the sever went down for the first time. Tracert gets stuck a town or so from here.

[Azure Falcon]

I'm using a tiny ISP that runs off Entanet (who are basically a BT Wholesale reseller) - website has been inaccessible since the servers went up and I'm getting the usual 107/249 errors. Trace routes always start timing out at the 7th jump, which seems to be just before it leaves the country.

A friend who is on BT Infinity also has it time out on the 7th jump too.

[Tes]

I'm with BT Infinity - doesn't work.

[Asuka~]

Fingers crossed we get unblocked since SEGA is still fixing those errors... (forgot the numbers)

[SJRKnowledge96]

Okay, so I found SHIP02's IP (thanks, Shinji Kazuya!), and tracerouted it. The results are interesting, and from what I can tell, it doesn't get past London.

Yeah it sure seems that way... Only time will tell I guess (until SEGA has apparently fixes the errors).

[SJRKnowledge96]

http://imgur.com/euPusM0
This is SHIP02's new IP (at least, I heard it was). As you can see, it doesn't leave the router.

[Jaquecz]

I'm not from the UK, but I'm canadian.
I can't connect.
Japanese people are so rude, eh?
we didn't do anything to them in history eh?

[SJRKnowledge96]

I'm pretty sure it's not Japan's fault. .w.

Unless, you know, the DDoSer(s) are/were in fact Japanese. In which case, it STILL isn't Japan's fault, but a group of Japanese people. Granted, we will never know for sure.

[Asuka~]

Hmm... Only time will tell!

[SJRKnowledge96]

Indeed. As I've said before, I just hope I can get on before the compensation items expire... these things are just too good to let go.

[Jaquecz]

I know it's not japan's fault, I was making a joke that nobody caught.

Is anyone in the UK using telus, or rather does anyone know anyone who's using Telus and can connect to the game.

[MRLADYBOY]

Using virgin media - Same problem as everyone else. Nothing.

Tracert 2 jumps to pso2.jp

Although weirdly, i can connect to pso2.jp if i open a link through pso2 wkik jp. Pretty weird.

In a nutshell BORED.

[Z-0]

Using JANET, cannot get through at all. (not that this is much help, since even it if did work, you can't get it unless you're living in academic dorms)

[Tes]

Can connect to website via my Orange mobile network on my phone. Tried tether mode to my laptop but connection kept timing out whilst trying to connect to ship.

[Tes]

Btw has anyone rang their ISP to ask if there's an IP ban? What details would we need to give them if we were to ring up?

[SJRKnowledge96]

I saw someone on Reddit trying to call Sky Broadband about it (they were from the UK), but I'm not sure what the response was.

[labyrinth]

Whilst it's not actually part of the UK, no connection from the Isle of Man either.

[Requiem Aeternam]

I'm from the UK as well. I haven't tried connecting to the game yet (behind on 2 months worth of updates) but I can't even access the PSO2.jp website. Has anyone with BT had any luck logging into the game? I want to be able to get the compensation rewards before they expire.

EDIT: Just tried to update the game and am getting Error 107.

[SJRKnowledge96]

Well, from what I've seen, us UK folks seem to be in a troublesome situation.

I can via PingZapper. But I don't want to rely on that to play the game. So, whilst you can use the guide on the forum here to connect and get your rewards, i'm going to check PSO2 access via the tweaker once a week to see if I ever get access again. If i'm not welcome to connect to the game normally then I don't want to play PSO2 anymore.

I've tried PZ and all I can do is fail when following the guide exactly.

I think I'll just wait until I can connect again normally, even if I don't get to pick up my compensation rewards (only one I really want is the colour change pass). If there is a UK wide IP ban then so be it, I'll just play something else.

[MRLADYBOY]

So whens the cut off date to collect rewards?

[Sp-24]

So whens the cut off date to collect rewards?
http://i.imgur.com/6MkrlEu.png

[SJRKnowledge96]

In other words, the 16th. Not a very large window of time in which to see our problems sorted.

[MRLADYBOY]

GREAT......Ha ha. Think ill Risk PZ nearer the time if all isnt cleared up. Then if its not sorted, ill jack it in. Just started to play vindictus. Not bad actually :)

[Sp-24]

Avoid doing this until the 12th or so, just in case things do get resolved by then.

[MRLADYBOY]

Ya. That was my thinking bud. Waiting till 15th

[SJRKnowledge96]

Sounds like a plan. Maybe keep trying to log in without it every now and again to see what the results are, not that they'll change much. I imagine that US ISPs will take top priority and will thus be resolved first.

[MRLADYBOY]

out of curiosity. Any of you UK users get on to cirnopedia anymore? Because i cant?

[Manakura]

Uk, Virgin media. Wasn't able to connect prior to or after the maintenance. Error's 107 and 249.

Edit: I can access Cirnopedia fine.

[Sie]

out of curiosity. Any of you UK users get on to cirnopedia anymore? Because i cant?
I can't no, getting error 520 on Virgin Media for Cirnopedia on both my PC and Vita.

Error 107 for PSO2 PC and 249 on Vita. Tracert stops in London somewhere.

[Manakura]

Error 107 for PSO2 PC and 249 on Vita. Tracert stops in London somewhere.

Eh? I don't know why i seem to be able to connect to cirnopedia then.

Question: My tracert literally pings the first time then times out for the next 29. Is this normal or is my tracert just stopping instantly? (Tracert pso2.jp)

[MRLADYBOY]

Hmm...wonder why i cant then?

[SJRKnowledge96]

I can't connect to Cirnopedia either.

[MRLADYBOY]

2 jumps on my tracert.

Same error for me from virgin when i try and get onto cirno. Weird?

[SasreaFox]

TalkTalk also blocked - uk ISP.

psolauncher.exe > 210.189.209.19

tracert reports 2 hops before it fails (first is my router)

78.147.64.1 (TalkTalk Communications Limited)
78.151.225.35 (TalkTalk Communications Limited)
* * * *
* * * *

The first switch is my local talktalk ISP for my home town, then it heads off to London before being blocked. Really hope they bother to fix this, tired of using VPN!

[fruiteaterz]

i'm from cyprus, former colony of the UK and i can't *ucking connect yay.

[Requiem Aeternam]

I can connect to Cirnopedia fine. I still can't connect to the official site or the game however (server not responding for the site, error 107 for the game). I'm with BT.

[fruiteaterz]

basically we are screwed. ahaha.

[SJRKnowledge96]

basically we are screwed. ahaha.

Seems like it.

[ArataWata]

UK here, BT customer, haven't been able to connect at all.

It seems it doesn't take as long for me to get the 107 error as it used to but it's still happening.

However, I can also connect to Cirnopedia with no problems.

[SJRKnowledge96]

I can connect to God Eater 2 Cirnopedia, but not the PSO2 one.

[Neith]

UK, Sky Broadband (changed ISP from BT a few days ago though). Both ISPs get 107 (249 with Tweaker).

Has anyone with Sky contacted them yet?

[Kazzi]

UK here on Virgin Media. Completely unable to get past the 107, even tried using a VPN with no success.

[VII C2]

Uk. Virgin Media.
Can connect to Cirnopedia.
Cant connect to PSO2.JP.
When trying to use Launcher, I get Error 107.
When using Tweaker, I get Error 249.

I feel as though we've waited long enough. I'd just like some straightfoward answers.

I sent Sky Broadband a message to see if they'd blocked the server IP and got this response.

"thanks for your message. I am sorry to see that you are unable to get this website, we haven't blocked this so it may be that the website is still down after the DDoS attack. Let me know if you have any other questions"

Admittedly this is likely to only be a level 1 tech but figured I'd share it anyway.

Well, thanks for that. If we can figure out whether or not this gets to the higher-ups, we'll see what they do. And, due to this being from Sky, I guess this pertains to me directly.

Let's hope this does get to the folks up there and see if they can do/know anything about the situation.

[Undeadfellow]

I can't connect, I'm from London, United Kingdom. Any advice?! (Using Sky Broadband) D:

[SJRKnowledge96]

Not yet, sadly. Although, I'm glad to find out that I'm not the only one using playing this game and using Sky Broadband. =w=

What I'm sure we're all not glad about is... well... our shared inability to play the game.

[ArataWata]

My copy of Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity arrived today and I can connect to that game with no problems either.

[SJRKnowledge96]

My copy of Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity arrived today and I can connect to that game with no problems either.

Well, that's established that this is purely a PSO2 thing (which I'm sure we knew already, or at least it was inferred to have been).

[SmexyMillz]

Virgin media here and still cant connect.. Got on via pingzapper to collect my rewards though just worried my premium will run out and I wont be able to play.. Quite a pisstake

[SJRKnowledge96]

I still haven't been able to use PZ successfully. .w.

[Neith]

Just phoned Sky Broadband and got transferred to their Technical Support. I gave them details, and said I can access the site fine with a proxy, but not without. I also told them the results of a tracert (which times out immediately after hop 1).

Sky said that they definitely haven't blocked access to either pso2.jp or the IP for the game servers and that the problem must be at the other end. I'm still not totally convinced they knew what I was talking about but I wanted some clarification direct from the ISP.

I suppose all we can do at this point is either use a VPN (and risk a ban) or wait.

[Nulve]

Can everyone just use the Amazon Web Service? It's the best option atm, and the more people doing it, the better.

[SJRKnowledge96]

You say that like all of us have credit cards.

[Neith]

Can everyone just use the Amazon Web Service? It's the best option atm, and the more people doing it, the better.

Problem with that is Proxifier and ProxyCap only have limited free trials. After that you'd need to find something else or start paying.

[labyrinth]

Bump.

Can any UK users connect after the maintenance?

[SJRKnowledge96]

I'm going to try, but I'm not holding my hopes high after I failed to connect to pso2.jp.
EDIT: Connection failed, as I predicted; Errors [No.107] with the launcher and [No.249] through Tweaker.

[martinmeegan]

C'mon guys, don't let us be like our chums on the other side of the pond and continue to be delusional to the fact that Sega has blocked our IP's. If you want to play the game again you will not be able to do it through the normal method. The only way any of us are going to be able to connect is through using a VPN or an SSH Tunnel. As we are effectively banned now anyway you may as well make use of one of the methods mentioned and chance your luck.

[TheAstarion]

Sky Broadband, unable to even use Pingzapper, SoftEther or a private VPN as somewhere down the line my IP is "corrected" somehow (standard method of connecting to VPN then checking to see if google wants to redirect me to another country simply fails). I'm not a luddite but internet protocol and printers may as well be rocket surgery to me.

Absolutely categorically unable to get on PSO before and after this maintenance.

[Tes]

Working VPN - google softether+gate plugin and it will give you a freeware download.

[martinmeegan]

Completely off topic but when someone from Yorkshire says they're not a luddite it always makes me chuckle seen as that's one of the places that Luddites came from. I'm guessing you probably don't work in a cotton mill though;-):-D Good job on Le Tour de Yorkshire by the way.

[SJRKnowledge96]

SoftEther works fine for me, but the issue is that I don't ever get the confirmation e-mail. Curse you, AOL Mail. Curse you.

And I have no idea where to go to change it, so I'm stuck getting 650'd.

[genesispso2]

hey my fellow UK users

i got a bit of news and a trick that might have u back online

using my phone as a internet hotspot i was able to login and play PSO2 today say between 2pm- 5pm GMT ( i signed off of my own accord)

but i kid u not it worked! make your phone a internet hotspot, make your PC's internet route from your phone then connect to PSO2 using the official launcher!

(i dont use tweaker so i dont know if it will work with that)

sorry for getting your hopes up if it doesnt work 4 u but i promise u it did for me for the time i specified!

[MoonlightMyau]

Virgin Media, still can't connect to game or site.

[SJRKnowledge96]

I'm just going to assume that this whole "internet hotspot" thing for your phone only works if it's a smartphone, so no luck for me.

Who is your mobile network provider?

[SJRKnowledge96]

Bump.
Has anyone had any luck as of late?

[Sonatina]

Hello, guys.

I just tried to connect using my smartphone as a hotspot, and can confirm it works. And, better still, I can play on VITA.

I suppose this option is available for any network user in UK (and presumably in EU), as long as:

-Your tariff allows it (you need to check with your network)
-Your phone has the option to use as a hotspot, with security code available
-You have at least 3G.

It's simple enough using my HTC One to set up. Some phone may have a bit more work to do. You can find how-tos online easily.

The other thing to watch out for is a battery of your mobile, as it drains very quickly using as hotspot. Also, if you are using VITA, you need to switch between your normal wifi connection and hotspot. You don't use your mobile for every game you have, do you?

Hope this helps. :)

[fay]

Judging by some American companies being unblocked and not a single UK ISP being freed, one would assume the attack came from someone in the UK, and if so, we are never getting back on.

[Husq]

Or maybe no one actually tried or bothered contacting their ISP, you know that common UK wait-for-other-to-do-it attitude. I fired an email to BT five days back, but no response so far.
One person making noise is pointless, the more people complain the faster we get some activity.
Unless people are with sky, virgin, zen and a few others, most ISP here are most-likely using backbone provided by BT. IIRC people had issues connecting to ubisoft and uplay servers earlier this year and also last year and it was because a lot of people making complains that the problem was looked at by ubisoft and BT. So unless people contact their isp nothing on bt's side will happen.

[labyrinth]

My ISP just said that the problem has nothing to do with them and that the problem is all SEGAs doing.

TBH I'm pretty sure we're screwed until SEGA wants to unblock us.

[VII C2]

Virgin Media. UK. Can connect as of now without VPN. 11.07/2014.
Can connect to PSO2.jp. Can Connect to Pso2. I hope everyone else can. Good luck everyone.

[SJRKnowledge96]

Well, if we see it from other Virgin users, then you're off the hook. That just leaves us Sky and BT folks. I ran another traceroute today, and, as expected of it, it didn't leave my router. Is anyone else still in this position?

[VII C2]

Before, I was also in that position. But now it works. Everyone should probably just wait alittle. Maybe another day or two? ^_^ Things are gradually coming together.

[SJRKnowledge96]

Well, thanks for the information. It's good to see that us UK folks are finally seeing things get back to normal. But, we'll have to hear from other Virgin Media users to see if this is an isolated incident or not.

[VII C2]

I agree! ^_^ Thank you! :D

[SJRKnowledge96]

I agree! ^_^ Thank you! :D

No, thank you. All we need now is to see how it is for other ISPs. From what I can tell from my traceroute, it's no dice for Sky Broadband. If anyone from other ISPs can run traceroutes or maybe even attempt a connection, that'd be great.

[ArataWata]

Well, this is interesting, I can't access the website but I decided to try going through the website with Google Translate running for shits and giggles and it worked.

Albiet, the site doesn't load correctly at all, loaded with nothing but white and broken images, but you can still navigate around the site with the links. Just can't download the game it seems.

Maybe it's an isolated incident. Either way, we'll need to hear from more people using your IP before coming to any conclusions.

[VII C2]

Well this is strange and awkward. I ensure you I was able to connect without a VPN. I don't really understand why someone would lie about something like this. The title really explains everything. "Connectivitiy of UK Users". I "connected" without a VPN. Therefore, I posted a reply to this thread. Why am I being accused of lying? Just because we have the same ISP and you can't connect whereas I can, doesn't mean I lied about my "connectivity" to PSO2. Also, it's "MY" "CONNECTIVITY". Not yours. I experienced this. So how can you know I'm lying? Having the same ISP doesn't really prove I lied. It could have been an isloated incident, just like SJR said.

Back to the original reason why I'm replying again, I did, at foremost connect to PSO2.JP and PSO2 without a VPN. However, after I got off from my laptop and tried to get back on PSO2 (without a VPN btw), I recieved error 107. I guess it was an on and off thing.

Phone internet tethering has worked for me from day 1 in terms of website access. But the connection times out when trying to connect to the actual game. Also i'm not on a contract phone anymore so I simply cannot afford using the internet on my phone on anything other than wifi. Honestly - 10 mins of browsing using mobile data will eat through £15 of credit. Hideous.

So even if I did have a smartphone, it'd be worthless. Well, thank you for the information. It'd seem our situation just gets bleaker by the day. Four days to go in terms of getting the compensation.

[Tes]

Seems strange some people await emails when using VPN's and others login straight away. I've never received any emails from Sega. Couldn't even find the signup ones which is odd as I keep all my game related emails.

In my case, I just don't receive the email, but it asks for authentication. On top of that, I don't know where to go to change my email address linked to my account, so I have to wait.

[Taigerr]

May I be so bold as to request that those able to connect via mobile tethering kindly furnish us with vital info such as THE MOBILE NETWORK PROVIDER THEY ARE USING PLEASE?

I am currently with Vodafone and cannot connect to the game on my PS VITA 3G. I have also tried tethering on my iphone that is also on Vodafone without any luck.

So for those supposedly connecting via mobile network (on Vita or PC) what mobile network service provider are you with please??

Thanks in advance!

[Taigerr]

Well I can gladly say that I have since tethered my PS VITA to a mobile phone on Orange Network/EE and was able to connect and play!!!

Man I have missed this game wish it was Westward bound!!

[SJRKnowledge96]

We all miss this game...

On another note, has anyone at all had any luck connecting to the game normally?

[Sonatina]

Re: Tethering

As I mentioned before, the cost for the tethering varies depending on your tariff.
I'm with EE and can use tethering without extra cost, as I have unlimited data allowance.
If your tariff has monthly limit or you are on PAYG, you are likely to pay extra for the data. You really need to check with your mobile company.

Also, my area is supposedly covered in 4G, yet I can only manage 3G occasionally during busy time, let alone 4G, so I get cutting off from the game. I wouldn't bother playing unless the signal is good and steady.

[Requiem Aeternam]

Still no luck with connecting to the game or official website, it's really disheartening. I miss playing, and I miss my friends and teammates but there's nothing I can do for now. I did manage to connect to the website using the 3G on my iPhone but lost connection once it picked up my wi-fi signal.

I would try and contact BT and ask them about it but I'm not the one who pays for the wi-fi in my house so I'm out of luck there.

Im gonna play on the taiwan server no ip block but no english patch in case the problem never gets fixed but i'll be back if it does get fixed new to pso2 sky user cant connect don't want to use vpn

If you mean that your traceroute stops at one IP, then it sounds like either some software(software firewall, antivirus etc) or your router blocks or ignores traceroute packets.

Still can't access the site or the game. I really hope the connection issues are fixed soon. I really want to play again.

Able to use EE 3g for Vita, but PC is too data-hungry to connect via 3g;
Able to use 3g and the same landline wifi that the main game blocks for PSO2es with no issues.

PSO2es was actually a pleasant surprise. Though a friend in SEA who can't play the main game has been able to get on PSO2es until this maintenance to send us messages; now he's blocked from that too.

Edit for 3g cellular tethering:

EE (from T-Mobile, rather than Orange or a newer EE contract) "fair" usage policy capped me at 200mb total data over 2 weeks (which is not excessive by anyone's standards). Latency was noticeable but not much worse than generally using a Vita in Europe anyway (only got 630 3 or 4 times over 8+ hours total connected)

Tried O2, able to connect but unplayable latency (eventually resulting in 630) despite superficially good cellular reception.

Vodafone gave grey ships, no connection at all.

No access currently to other cellular networks (may be able to coax some salespeople around town into letting me try tethering to their personal handsets for 5 minutes).

All tested with fair 3g coverage, no 4g coverage.

What do u mean exactly when u say T-Mobile capped U?
i just recently downloaded the lastest update and signed on and ive apparantly already reached my "fair" usuage for this month

[TheAstarion]

Pretty much the same as you I guess; their mobile data package is measured in a chunk of 250mb of data you can use for anything, after which you are capped, plus another 250mb you have to go online to choose to activate which can only be used for basic page browsing and email (up to viewing images, but not videos or music or general downloading).

My contract is for at least 1GB of data per month but it seems that means 250mb plus 3 lots of gimp data. So, pretty crap.

3 offers unlimited data for pretty cheap but pretty much doubles in price if you want to include tethering (and PSO on Vita uses 5-20mb per hour tops anyway, so it's not like you're streaming the entirety of the national archive)... That turned the deal sour for me and I didn't pick it up, but if they allow physically moving the SIM card from one device to another I might reconsider. When I had Samba, running off of 3, the reception was reasonable but since Samba is now defunct I can't test 3's connection at present.

On another note, have word from a friend that Orange is allowing connections to PSO2.jp from both their mobile internet and home broadband services. Not an active player right now so I don't know if the game is playable, but access to PSO2.jp is a good ballpark starting point. Stands to reason since it's part of EE but Orange, T-Mobile and EE's 4g networks are actually separate networks from an infastructure standpoint.

You know what, I think I've finally gave up. I'm just going to use a VPN now. What is the best free one and the best paid one? I think I'm just going to go free though since I don't want to pay for it just to get on and pay again...

Checking back after tonight's maintenance.

Got a second-hand report that 3 is connecting, I'm in the market for a new sim anyway and they have unlimited data plus 4GB tethering for £18/mo or £180/12mo. Gonna see if I can connect reasonably before making the plunge (PSO is a big motivator but I did need to pull my finger out of my arse and cancel the overpriced T-mobile contract anyway).

It's safe to say we won't be getting back on now. It's either get a VPN or just not play at this point.

3

Went to one of their stores today and tried connecting; first via vita tethering, and when that didn't work, just tried pso2.jp on the shop assistants' own phones. So 3 is apparently blocked.

So... EE is fine, Orange is fine, O2 connects but is slow, and 3 and Vodafone are currently not working. All other networks in the UK are MNVOs of the existing ones (Virgin for EE, Giffgaff and Tesco for O2, etc).

Very annoyed as 3 were the only ones offering a fair data deal for less than infinite money.

I don't know about you folks, but I'm starting to think that the only foreign ISPs able to connect normally are TWC and Verizon FIOS (which are American and, as far as I know, have no business here), and any ISPs associated with them in some way.

[BubbleAqua]

South Yorkshire, Sky Broadband, and having no luck with PSO2 here either (tracert times out after reaching the router), although es works fine. However, I was out earlier and had free wi-fi (The Cloud), so I ran a tracert, which gave some potentially interesting results.
1. 10.136.53.161
2. 10.255.254.3
3. 2.127.236.37; 027fec25.bb.sky.com
4. 2.127.236.38; 027fec26.bb.sky.com
5. 10.255.252.129
6. 10.5.160.236
7. 194.42.125.211
...and from there it timed out.
Looking these up shows it doesn't leave London (only a few addresses can be associated with a location), but it seems to reach Sky's backbone - at least, that's what I'd assume bb.sky.com is.
If this is what would happen if we could get past our routers, then it looks like we're still out of luck, but I'm trying to be optimistic. Heck, I haven't even played the PC version - came across PSO2 in the midst of the DDoS and its aftermath.

That is quite interesting... Although, it shows what most show - even if it did leave the router, it's generally seen that most traceroutes don't seem to leave the nearest big city (i.e, London).

Someone in my team can connect with KPN

So, I've made a discovery:
I'm at the Auchenlarie Caravan Park, and it seems that I'm able to connect to PSO2.JP VPN-less.
I'll be testing the game's connection, though considering its knack for kicking me off and me having to reconnect to it, I doubt that I'll be on play for long.

Also, I don't know the ISP.

sorry pal, you have to use the contact form to email BT, that way you get a ref no. Unfortunately they don not send a copy of your email. If you want to email them you need to have the account number for your phone line!, so if you don't have it, ask the main account holder or post on their forum.

Basically what you should include are:
-issues reaching IP ranges 210.189.208.0-210.189.208.255 and 210.189.208.0-210.189.208.255
-servers are not IP region blocked, because, both ranges can be reach using a non BT internet access, for example free wifi on train, a wifi dongle (make sure to check that they aren't using a BT backed service) or mobile phone network

Most free hotspots in the UK are BT backed, so don't tell them that those free wifi access points work, unless you verified it yourself.

I was at a relative's house who was using a kinda old 02 Broadband router (Yup, he's on 02, rofl). Anyway, I tried visiting pso2.jp and it worked! I didn't have my laptop with me so I couldn't try getting on PSO2 with that connection. Hmm....

O2 home broadband no longer exists as O2 sold it's broadband division to Sky early last year so your relative is almost certain to be under Sky Broadband now, which is odd as people have still reported that PSO2 is unreachable on Sky in this thread.

[Halikus]

I was on O2 before i was transferred to Sky's monthly rolling contract. I cant access anything PSO2 related w/o VPN/SSH tunnel.

Our test business line at work is still on O2 and that works no problems.

EE broadband also works in the UK as one of the other managers on my team is using that and has never needed any software to connect post DDos.

Hopefully this means that BT will fix the problem so their customers can connect without having to use a VPN. I've been wanting to play again a lot lately but really don't want to use a VPN to do so.

[Husq]

How about you guys actually post in that thread on bt forum that you guys are have connection issues as well? At the moment it looks like only 3-4 out of million of BT customers care about this issue, besides the post is almost a month old. Like I mentioned before you can sign up to post on their forum without having the bt account number. The more noise we make on their public forum the higher the chances hat we get it sorted sooner than later.

[Ana-Chan]

@Husq:
What was the point of that post? The point of mine originally was to use a source to show that BT was aware of the problem, nothing more. It still didn't stop me contacting BT customer support (Ref number VOL012-94292295192, VOL012-93843334843) and then contacting the security team.
I also assume that you have been doing similar things to cause more noise.

[Husq]

Like most Uk customer services, BT tends to ignore issues that affects a tiny fraction of their costumers. Similar thing happens when people had problem connecting to uplay last year. It was pretty much known by BT, but ignored as only a few people complained about it initially. It wasn't until more people raised the issue with BT, before action was taken on their side.

I still haven't heard back from them, and it has been over a month ago when I posted them my first email. Going to send a third one at the end of the week, not sure if it helps...

[MRLADYBOY]

Why don't you just use the AWS method? Its actually a faster connection for me anyway, so im not fussed if it gets sorted by virgin my end.

[Husq]

Why don't you just use the AWS method? Its actually a faster connection for me anyway, so im not fussed if it gets sorted by virgin my end.

AWS is only free for a year.
You always get more latency added if data gets routed, exception is if the path to the destination is better optimised. If BT can get it sorted out, most xdsl users should see some improvement, in regards to latency, unless they are trying to be funny.
Virgin is different animal. Latency fluctuates depending on how many users connected to a node, for example if two people on your street are on virgin and using internet access at the same time your latency will increase. xdsl doesn't have this issue, but has it own problems.

[Ana-Chan]

Yup, if you had the choice of no fuss native connectivity through your ISP, or using a way to reroute, I'm sure most people would prefer the native connectivity.

[Requiem Aeternam]

I'd much rather connect normally without a VPN but the chances of that are looking increasingly unlikely. I'll wait till the end of this month and, if I still can't connect normally, I'll just have to use a VPN.

[Husq]

Can someone with BT, and filled in a support email, check if there has been a fault report logged in their account (under myBT, tracking fault or something). I just noticed BT has put up a fault report in my account on the 13th August, fault is listed on their retail side, not on my end. So maybe they are doing something, my last email to them was on the 2nd August just for reference, and i haven't been in contact with them since then.

I confirmed about a month ago that TalkTalk at my workplace is now routing traffic correctly for PSO2. Haven't tried it since.

Well, i would say that if you have the means to get an AWS account, get it. Its about 100x better than my normal "high speed" virgin connection was. Id use that even if my ISP could connect anyway.

[Husq]

Not sure if it is a fluke and if it will be permanent, but at the moment i can connect to pso2 directly, with plusnet.
To my surprise, direct conenction, now, cuts latency by 30-40ms! Last time when we could connect directly to the servers, it was around 300ms!

[Digital Pain]

Just a heads up! Virgin Media can connect to the server's again without the use of a proxy, lets see how long this lasts this time.

I uninstalled the game sometime time ago so I can't say if I can connect to the actual game server yet but considering I can connect to the official site and download from the official launcher it's safe to assume I'll be able to connect to the game.

Yeah, last time it lasted until the weekly maintaince was over. So let's wait and see if yahoo jpn finally decides to announce it permanently.

[Digital Pain]

I've got a feeling after Maint we won't be able to connect to server without proxy! I hope i'm wrong of course.

Somebody said that some people are sometimes suddenly able to log in again, even after the maintance... but yeah, let's wait and see.

Sure, here it is. Used to time out before hop 7 when the DDOS first occurred, then a few months ago it started getting this far but hasn't changed at all since then.

That is strange. My log is almost the same after peering to HE's terminals, and after the 158.205.76.236 entry it actually pings to 210.189.209.8.
Did you try contacting Freeola or reconnecting your modem/gateway?

Not recently. I contacted them when the issue originally occurred and they knew what the problem was, but told me that due to BT Wholesale being the ones that would need to make changes to sort out the issue, that it was almost certain they can't escalate the fault high enough for the right people to pay attention. And yeah, I reboot the router once a week or so.

My friend on BT Infinity runs into the same thing as yourself, it reaches 1 hop further than me and can connect to pso2.jp

[Requiem Aeternam]

I'm with BT and can connect to the site again without a hitch. Not sure about the game yet but seeing as I haven't played since the DDoS it might be awhile before I can find out if I can connect to that as well. The game updates really slow for me.

EDIT: I can play the game again without using a VPN.

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

Tbh the tweaker with the built in vpn or whatever has worked for me for months. I'm with BT too. The tweaker has dealt with everything in an all in one package for me now and i'm thankful for not having to use pingzapper anymore as the reliability of that programme was questionable many a time.
