Great so I've finaly got my copy of WoW right after UUNET have upgraded their lines and I was getting a great ping (600-800) for 1 whole day!

As from yesterday (22/03/2005) its been crap! Last time I checked I was getting 5000 to WoW servers, but when I ping google I get 400 with alot of timeouts. I got this account for playing WoW and now I cant do that which means this account is useless to me.

Is UUNET overdoing it again? I think so, ever since the 'upgrade' the line has been degrading again. No wonder Mweb left them!
 
I have realized this morning, their is a problem again with UUNET. Its incredible slow... I will enquire this morning and keep you informed.
 
Thanks Celemasiko, I truelly believed in this service and I am now very dissapointed. I'm hoping UUNet will pull through, not because of the uncapped, but the unshaped gaming ports. Even if there was a 30gig cap I'd still be using this service.
 
Thanks for that Celemasiko, I'd just wish they'd keep their customers informed. After the last upgrade things went well. Any idea when this upgrade will be finished? I have 3 days left to decide if I want to keep this service.
 
Ping times weren't great for me on WoW either last night (capped account). Usually average btw 500 - 650. Last night it was hovering btw 900 - 1400 :mad: .

I think it was a general slowdown. Everybody's trying to cap out their monthly limit.
 
Stupid question I guess :)

Let me work out somethings... what would you be willing to pay for a service like this?

is WoW a game? or is a web-based game?
Click to expand...

It's a online game. There's one called Guild Wars due for release soon which is the same concept but will have no subs. :)

Oh.. oh.. oh.. me pick me pick me!!! :rolleyes:
 
FireFli, you need to download OpenVPN 2 from www.openvpn.org

Then email me ([email protected]) and I'll send you a test account.

I'm keen to see what the pings will be like.

Just for a test, do a ping to adsl-gate.nebular.za.net and post the average here. Do about 10 pings...
 
In-game latency are very different from ICMP. So best is if someone makes screenshots from in-game (mouse-over the 3 bars(usually red),to the right of the red question mark) and makes sure there are no packet losses. (Other players turning in circles or a very long typing delay or NPC(mob) characters 'jumping' around)

They would need to test it for a few hours at least, since I sometimes get a false(green) latency reading for the first few minutes after joining the game.

PS bobs_uncle, check your email ;)
