Hi Will

Sounds good currently playing on a WA trail account and am getting 170-200ms no tunneling or services.

But will give mweb a go for sure and a free wtfast account would be a deal closer for me :)
Thanks

Well we have a try before you buy option as well so you could always give our sales team a call and check it out yourself :)
 
LOL! No you didn't and that's not my April Fool's retaliation for today's front page article either, it's after noon :) We are still ironing out some administrative kinks with key assignments, but it's quite true. I am about to PM one to StevenC and I have most presumptuously just asked our Gamesmaster to send me yours :D
 
nice!!

not like i need or something, but some clients will make good use of it,the ones that does have problems.
 
The accounts are locked to single machine usage on the WTFast side and are also limited to only work on MWEB ip ranges, but if you have anyone who is an MWEB subscriber who is in need of one let us know and we'll make the necessary arrangements.

EDIT: Just bear in mind this is still in it's infancy. We haven't even looked at properly communicating it to our call centre teams yet so please don't phone in for one, or something silly like that :D At the moment we really just have a handful of people including myself handing these out on an adhoc basis until we bed down a proper process.

Hi there Will. :D

I'm waiting for my adsl line to be installed and will be signing up for a 384 uncapped account. :) Would they be ok for WOW? (Im sure the WTFast deal will make the game less harsh on the skinny pipe. :p ) Currently my Vodapoo 3G only does 700ms at best.
 
Hi J0no

Pingwise you should be fine, but I know some of the guys have been having issues raiding on 384k lines. This is one of the reasons I've asked StevenC to try out WTFast for me to see if it improves his experience. It seems that since the Cata release WoW's bandwidth requirements in the more intense areas of the game have increased significantly. Obviously the addons you are running and VOIP connections also have an influence on this.
 
Our Gamesmaster is just tied up with some urgent business this afternoon and I'm waiting on him to stock me up with some keys - I'll PM you one as soon as I get them, but it may only be on Monday.

Thanks for the reply. :)

Well I'm still getting the account even if it means no major raiding. :p (I'm sure the raid can cope with one tank DC'ing :D)
 
You should find it to be very smooth though even without the WTFast - I started up WoW again late last year myself mainly to test the experience on our network (and we all know how that story ends :D)

I have characters ranging between mid 50's and 70's now and I am doing most of my leveling in Random Dungeons. I never get DC'ed from dungeons, or feel like I am lagging behind a fight and casting is always very responsive. It's a far cry from my raiding experiences back in Burning Crusade days trying to tank ZA and areas like that on a 600+ ping :)
 
Hi Will@Mweb

Just wanted to say was in WoW last night did a bunch of dungeons and the lag was great 174ms-210ms with no huge spikes.
Can't wait to try it out on the WTFast account.
Thanks for all the help and hard work, keep it up.
 
I see Champions online has gone F2P. So I'm busy downloading the client now. Anyway, just want to find out if it is playable on a 384 uncapped line? And my line speed is still slower then a one winged fly.
 
@MWEB can you please let me know why since last week my ping is so high on COD BO - gameplay was fine but ping started to get very high from last week Thursday - Thanks
