Lag / Lowering my ping

[thiartc]

Hi.

I play SWTOR and the lag is getting the better of me.

I have a 10 Mps line with WA (i know line speed has no effect on ping, but just mentioning it so you guys know what i'm working with) and my avg ping to the SWTOR serves inthe UK hovers round about 500.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can lower it a bit, back in my WOW days i used a program that lowered the lag a bit, but cant remember the name.

thanks

Was the program that WTFast program from Mweb? I think it was specifically for MMO games.

I must say though that 500 latency on a 10Mbps line seems quite high for Europe. I play COD4 on a german hosted server using a 3Mbps line sharing with 2 other computers, and we generally get about 220 ping.

Saying that though I don't know SWTOR and so not sure what the graphic details and play is like

thanx, wil have a look at the program.

I think my main problem is my ISP (WA), they have my line as a "titanium" line and shows gaming priority as high, but their high is the lowest level on their priority list.

You can try battleping as well, but I don't think that it's free anymore.
Been a few years since I last used it, think you have to pay a monthly sub to use it now.

I use the openweb gamers uncapped account and i get 180 to European servers.
