Hey all

I am trying to get a broad consensus of what sort of latencies people are getting in WOW on different broadband services.

So, please post your broadband service, average latencies (range and average please) and server as well as any aditional information regarding your connection experiences.

Example

ADSL 4mbps, MWeb unshaped, between 350ms - 550ms averaging around 400ms, Burningblade EU. find that latencies pick up to around 550ms in big raids.

Thanks :)

ADSL 4mbps, Axxess Unshaped, 230-275ms average 255ms, Lightbringer EU (Aka Lagbringer). Spikes up to 3k, but its not just saffers that feel it
 
DSL384 with Unshaped (Imaginet+Axxess). Latency is currently sitting at about 450ms while multiboxing 3 accounts. Server is Frostwhisper. The only time I get lag spikes is during busy periods, which is server wide, and not just me.
 
Get about same as Tinman on 4mb adsl line with unshaped Telkom as my service provider.300-600ms.With the Odds dc and spike from time to time.
 
I have Vodacom HSPDA. Getting from 400 to 900ms with regular spikes over 1200ms. The last two days was laggy though, being consistently over 900ms. I'm on Blade's Edge EU.
 
iBurst, 320 - 390 (with gamemax) & 490 - 750 (no gamemax) connecting to Eonar EU.

This speed continues at this 'good' rate even if my connection is soft capped at 64kbps.
 
384K
nexusISP customdsl
gamemax
2x pc's
Sunstrider EU
stable with 205-243ms

(...obviously when its unshaped)

4mb line
standard 3gb telkom account
i get around 375 - 450ms using gamemax
 
ADSL
250 - 450ms
unshaped
whatever
etc
(I'll only believe these okes saying "250 - 275ms stable" when I see frapsed 25man raid footage with a clearly visible latency indicator)

method : horde ? Guild ?

freeek : do yourself a massive favour boet, get yourself an unshaped account. Without it wow is really bad.
 
Like a real moron I didnt read your signature -__-

My paladin's name is Hueco and Im in EzPz. Not a lot of love lost between us and most horde guilds, but I guess thats what happens when you bring the world PvP to the horde.
 
ADSL 4mbps, Axxess semi-shaped, 330ms , Aszune EU. find that I kill things impossibly fast
ADSL 4mbps, Webafrica Shaped, 670ms , Aszune EU. find that I kill things slightly slower
