Line attenuation

Can anyone explain what TCP is, as I have been googling my issue and a few forums suggest a TCP optimizer?

Any suggestions?
 
@Johnatan56 I tried to understand that, but i didnt really...
Could this be affecting my lag, and is it worth downloading a TCP optimizer?
 
Okay so firstly I pinged mtn.co.za

Secondly I pinged the European WoW server, which looked surprisingly decent...

And then lastly i pinged the local CSGO site where i get stupidly high ping, but the ping test says differently...

I opened an account with another ISP, just to test a few things.
And the (play.intoxicated.co.za) website is actually working! There is a widget on the site with 2 different ping results as you can see in the screenie a few posts up. But it goes from 20k - 40k ms on afrihost, and 500-700ms on WA...
 
Run wow, ping test in the background and compare, could be the server running slowly/overloaded. Ping is time it take to get to server, be processed and then come back.

Have you tried a different wow server?
 
I ran a ping test in the backround, results ere identical.

The server can't be having problems because I have friends that play on the same server everyday...

Yes I have tried a different server and it is exactly the same...

Im just curious as to why its only WoW and the intoxicated website...
 
Okay, so now everything is sorted out. I figured out that the problem is on my PC.

What would you guys suggest in order to sort that out?
 
@Zonk

This is an issue with the server itself. Happens on IS, Cybersmart and Mweb at random times for random durations
 
@Woodlands

But why is it that someone in the same house as me can play perfectly?
I have copied there files over, run my anti virus and done a malware scan...

Could it have anything to do with my registry?
