Guys I was just wondering if there is anyone here using 348 kbs uncapped shaped account by mweb and what kinda latency do you experience using it? I consider getting it otherwise I would go for the more expensive option the uncapped/unshaped. :)
 
wow is all ready unshaped on the network, no need to buy a unshaped account.

rather get a 1mb shaped, as 384 is just just coping with wow.
 
Mweb is not made for serious Wow play. Casual yes sure, it will be fine.

Serious will be something like WA with maybe a proxy
 
for your own sanity, just get a 1meg line at least. 384k is a fscking joke. and interwebz prices have come down a whole lot lately. if you were looking at getting an unshaped uncapped account, you can afford it..
 
I was on 384k with WA and upgrade to 1mb, noticeable difference. I'm not sure about mweb though.

With 1mb you can raid with ease and PvP

Im doing 25man hc raids on a 1meg line with webafrica's 10gig package. line-rental thru them as well, which is cheaper than getting it from telscum. as dps and assigned interrupter, I have minimal problems, other than my poor laptop suffers sometimes when lots of aoe happens :(

Lol if you believe its unshaped that's so cute.
 
But I'm curious, I didn't really understand the result of the question: Do you get stable ms (150-250) consistently, without spikes on MWeb uncapped? I would go for a 1 meg line and be raiding 10mans.

I've heard that MWeb doesn't shape the ports to wow servers, because they use minimal bandwidth. Is this true?

And what about throttling? There isn't a lot of leeway on 1 meg for raiding in wow, mainly because of upload speeds...
I don't want to sign up for something where:

"oh lol, network is congested ---> throttling engaged ---> dead priest"

Looks at your 1000ms when you do anything more than a 5 man dungeon...

Me and the wife do 10 man Firelands together on 384 mweb uncapped with about 350ms constant, no spikes. One of us on mumble at the same time, no problem. On 25 man only one of us can, however...

Laughs at you and asks if you can read. It shows same speeds in 10 man raids. :rolleyes:

Laughs at you and asks if YOU can read. See any mention of speeds in 10 man raids before my post? No.
Btw I'm running a 384k uncapped mweb account on a 4meg line and I can't do 10 man raids because of lag.
 
I get 210 ms with my telkom shaped account and in 25 mans :D on 4 meg line. Lowest I got was 201 ms with it.
