ISP for Gaming?

[rich.za]

Hi Everyone,

I am getting an ADSL line installed this week and am wondering if there would be any difference in ISP's for gaming.

My main concern would be my latency while playing World of Warcraft.
An unshaped account would be the best to go for, but are there any differences in ISP's (speed/latency wise) other than the price?

Currently on iBurst and the lag spikes and an overloaded tower during the day are making things horrible.

Thanks,
Rich

unshaped will be your best, here is some options:

• multirealm (webafrica) - one account prepaid, but access to verizon or saix at R125
  
• normal - either saix or a verizon account
  
• fiber after hours (openweb) - unshaped after hours at R65 per gig

I got the fibre one for WoW and its good

I'm just remembering hearsay now, but doesn't IS fibre lag more than SAIX or Verizon unshaped?

I could be wrong, but isn't it nearly as bad as regular shaped SAIX?
