    Latency in Gaming

    WOW is 180ms at best from ZA, no way around it. Most ISPs use SEACOM cable up the east coast WOW's combat system isn't as sensitive to latency as say an FPS would be but it is still noticeable especially with melee combat. It may make a big enough difference in raids/pvp etc for the guild to...

    Unrestricted APN for VOIP
