Ok, so I play on the Lightbringer EU Server (213.248.127.130), I've tried this with 2 ISP's now. The first is my MWEB Uncapped Unshaped account and the second an Axxess Uncapped account. Both tracerts are with WoW running, but nothing else. Results as follows:

Okay, so i logged onto Laughing skull with a level 1 toon. Ping is 300 on that with WTfast, I log onto Twilights hammer EU and boom, insane latency. Now, before we think its a wow server issue, on telkom its still 270 on TH EU.
I did a ipconfig /dnsflush then renew and release.
On mweb its still insane latency aka 5k + on twilights hammer. So how can this be? If i run battleping 20 min trail + mweb its 300ms on TH EU. If i dont use a tunneling service its 5k+ on TH EU.
Will, i have reset my router many times, many many many. Every few hours when i want to check how the ping is now. Anything else i can do?
To recap, its fine on Telkom, its fine with battleping and mweb. Its fine on telkom and WTfast.
Its not fine on mweb or mweb with wtfast.
Its fine on Laughing skull EU. Its not fine on the realm i have all my characters.
Edit: My mweb connection and my LAN connection both have DNS set to automatic, using bridge mode to connect.

Hi Will,
logged in a few times again, restarting WoW/PC/router makes no difference. Have absolutely nothing else downloading/using the internet while I play WoW.
DNS on PC/router is on auto, also did a flushdns.
Problem for me started since the latest patch from Blizzard.
Seems like WoW is using a few different IPs to connect to my realm - Draenor:
Also got a few screen shots of the in-game latency meter (from about 18:20-18:50):

Ok just logged in at 10:15PM tonight on MWEB account in Borean Tundra on an alt to get a "fair" reading. I have done a reboot on router and PC, no downloads running.
The following screenshot of ingame latency follows:
which shows 11382ms latency.
Tracert is as follows:

Running at a comfy 425ms, with some of the best performance I have ever seen in WoW. I might even consider an account with these guys!

So there you have it then, some info for the techies. I am playing on Eonar EU realm, suffering bad latency there.
The WoWWiki page for the server is as follows: http://www.wowwiki.com/Server:Eonar_Europe
The List of all the WoW EU IP Addresses is found on this page: http://www.wowwiki.com/EU_English_realms_info
I see Eonar is actually 213.248.123.49 =( Maybe because it is in Sweden it may have something to do with differing latency reports between the realms.

Well it's 12am, just saw the message now and tried it out. Created a new toon, had about 600-700ms in game (durotar). Abilities were fast casting. Not using Battleping.
Will wait till evening again to give it a better try when things are more congested.
Also, your name seems familiar, you didn't happen to play a druid on some of the South African / Namibian realms back in early Vanilla did you?

Hehe, no steven i did not 
Thou i have played allot of games in the SA community over the years like sc, war3 and dota Thx for checking.
Btw yeh, for some reason battleping avoids the error on an mweb account, i dont have a creditcard thou so cant really get an account with them

I have spent the last hour trying to log into WoW - unsuccessfully. When I finally get in on my wife's account the latency is through the roof again.
So much for this issue being sorted out.

Still not able to even log into WoW. After an initial login on two accounts and super high latency followed by a DC, the game does not allow me to log in. Two hours that I'll never get back! This is something new and very unpleasnt.
I'm tired of this. Does anyone at MWeb actually know what they are doing?
Does anyone have advice about which ISP gives a consistent connection and decent support, as MWeb clearly are missing the boat here.

The optimization I mentioned on Friday for traffic to certain realms was put in place this morning at 06h00 as a test
The following Realms have been put on the list:
DragonBlight
LightBringer
Draenor
Steamwheedle Cartel
Emerald Dream
Twilight Hammer
Eonar
This is just a test so please could users on those realms let us know what their experience is.
Thanks
Will

Finally got on to WoW (Steamwheedle Cartel EU) - it appears the login issues had more to do with Blizzard than MWeb, so my apologies at getting angry at MWeb 
(Europeans obviously sleep in on Sundays).
The latency issue continues to be problematic though, even after router resets. Started the game with 23 000ms latency. It's unplayable!
Yesterday the game had playable latency of 650ms, which is normal for me. So whatever MWeb had in place Friday evening and Saturday seemed to work. Today is a different story though.

WoW (Steamwheedle Cartel EU) is TOTALLY unplayable today. I have had constantly high latency (over 5000ms) and huge spikes of over 40sec.
Hopefully the 'solution' worked on last week will point the MWeb techs in the right direction now. How complex is this problem if it has taken a couple of weeks to get us nowhere?

Gents I really just have to put this on the table again in response to WGS2010. There is still the possiblity that these are at least partially Blizzard patch related issues and that they have introduced something into their netcode which is not agreeable with certain ISP networks.
I've just been back to the Blizzard EU forums and there are numerous threads about xxK latency since the patch and I saw several mentions of a sudden spike in latency at certain times in the evening.
These users are all also reporting that traces are clean and they can find no logical cause for the issue.
We will put WoW back on the test bench again tomorrow and run a full analysis of the traffic to see if there is anything we have overlooked, but we have made some very significant changes already and the list of things we can still try is getting very short.

I appreciate the quick response and effort on your part, Will.
What about MWeb speaking to other SA ISPs who are NOT having this issue? South Africans on Telkom and Axxess seem not to be experiencing the same issues at all. What are they doing that MWeb is doing, which is certainly part of the problem?
I am not keen to jump ship to another ISP, primarily through innate laziness (and an awareness of Greener Grass Syndrome) rather than a deep-seated brand loyalty, but the frustration is certainly coming to a head.
The primary difference there would be that their networks arent IPC based, which immediately means that we manage traffic in a completely different way to them and you're comparing apples and pears. What concerns me here is that clients of Virgin Media, O2 and BE to name a few are reporting similar issues in Europe, we will keep trying our best to crack this, but if so many people worldwide are suddenly having issues when does the onus fall onto Blizzard's shoulders to acknowledge and at least explain the problem so that we can put workarounds in place? Their forum reps are in complete denial that anything significant has changed on the connectivity side and there doesn't even seem to be any willingness on their part to open discussions with these ISPS to work together on solving the problem.
If we don't make any significant headway tomorrow I will attempt to approach Blizzard myself to see if I can get a response out of them on the matter.
Kind Regards
Will

Logged into Draenor realm a few times, give it some time to see if latency will settle down, but latency still very high.

Have logged the problem with Blizzard about a week ago, but their response wasn't much of a help
The first thing I would recommend is that you contact your Internet Service Provider as this is happening outside of our own Network. I will however try my best to give you some advice to stabilize your connection and hopefully lower your ms or latency.
Making some small changes to the way your network controller handles data can help improve your connection.
First, follow these steps to reach the configuration area for your network controller:
- Click Start then Control Panel (ensure that you're on Classic View)
- Open 'Network and Sharing Centre'
- Click 'Manage network connections' (found in the left-hand menu)
- Right-click your 'Local Area Connection' (which shows Connected as the Status) and left-click Properties
- On the new window, click the Configure button
- On the next new window, click the Advanced tab
Once on the configuration page, set the Values of any Properties that mention 'Checksum Offload' or 'Hardware Checksumming' (or other similarly worded options) to Disable. If you have a 'Speed and Duplex' Property, setting the Value for this to '100mb Full' may also help.
After making any changes, click OK to save them, your connection will restart causing you to lose Internet connectivity during this time.
Next, we need to lower the Max MTU size of your connection.
1) Download and run DrTCP -> http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp
2) Select your Network Adapter and change MaxMTU to 1400. (Default value is 1500)
3) Press 'Apply' and try the game again.
I hope this helps and have a nice day.
If the problem continues, please reply to this email with the exact content of the error message you receive, and information on which of the above steps you were able to try.
Best Regards,
