Anyone tried this

The latter, yes. Works for 'unshaping' shaped connections, by tunneling traffic. If you're already using unshaped, you will notice no appreciable difference.
 
I'm trying the trial version of www.artofping.com...

Thus far it has improved my connection by an average of 100ms. I'm on a 4MBit shaped line with the reg-hack(fasterping) and used to get 540ms-610ms...my current ping is 448ms-497ms (eu servers)
 
so wait what this does is reroute you through there servers? cant we get a SA version of this? start begging saix or IS?

Did you follow the setup instructions properly? did you loginto putty ?, I used the 1st server on their list.

Gonna create a post on wows forums today and see what they say about using such a service.

As I said previously went down to +/- 300ms so would really want to use their service.

Will this lower HSDPA/I get 350-600 these days would like 250-350?

Not likely... Since it is alreay an unshaped service. If your already getting down to 350ms I think your at the best your connection can offer.
 
Tried www.gamepath.net and www.lowerping.com. Using my cybersmart account I got a stable connection of 400ms. When I connected on friday with my webafrica unshaped account I got +/- 350ms.

Gamepath works out to be R40 a month and lowerping about R 50

Waiting on blue post on WoW forums if this service is acceptable.
 
The R40 or R50 just to get the same latency as the rest of us with unshaped accounts... Is that not a bit too much to pay? Why not just get a unshaped account?

I have a webafrica unshaped account. Normal Latency 600-700ms. WA is not so wonderful :( & am using the latency reg settings.
 
Guess I am just lucky then, since my WA unshaped is quite stable between 250ms and 350ms. With age of Conan it get as low as 220ms!
Installed Vista over the weekend on my new PC and before registry fix latency was again at 450ms and dropped down to 290 ms after the fix.

Lucky, Iam on a us server :( might explain the higher latency. Also what line do you have?
 
Ah thats probably it, US ftl

Im on EU and my latt is slightly lower than Werries
 
Have a telkom 4Mb line. Though latency should not change on anything higher that 256kb.
US vs EU should in theory be only 100-200ms different. Atleast while staying in Germany I had latency of about 150ms to some games in the US.
 
Different lower ping type service are going to produce different result for different people. Simple as that.

Try a few of them and weigh up the benifits of server locations, pings and cost. A few i can remeber are:

lowergameping.com ( aussie and us based servers)
lowerping.com
gamepath.net
 
Move to Dubai... whats cool about my connection is I have several torrents running while playing WoW and my ping is stable 300ms :)

And if other people download I jump to about 400ms. Thats true unshaped connection ;)

If I don't download I'm around 220-280ms.
