I have a 384 MWeb account at the moment and WoW is unplayable after 18:00. This huge latency and lag spikes of over 30 sec at times lasts from 18:00 to 08:00 during the week. On weekends it extends over the entire weekend (Friday 18:00 to Monday 08:00). Because I work during the week, this means that using MWeb for WoW is useless.

This issue has dragged on for three weeks and MWeb have not managed to resolve it.

I have seen different posts about various ISPs (good and bad) and was just wondering which ISP is best for WoW? A few weeks ago I would have said that I've had no problem with MWeb, but this situation is untenable.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
I have Mweb, but I'm using Afrihost on a second PPPoE connection for my WoW gamers. They are very happy with the Afrihost latency.
 
Thanks for the info guys.

@ Ry4n and hereticangel: I'm just not finding the Webafrica website as accessible at the moment - will give it more time tomorrow. That latency certainly makes me interested.

@Gatecrasher: Which package are you using through Afrihost? I have seen some prett vehement posts that are anti-Afrihost, should I be concerned?

I got their R58/pm 2gig option (x2 on special) and they threw another free gig in today, so R58pm for 5gigs, and still getting 2 for 1 top-ups, so it is working out well. I don't have any qualms about using them, they have been my hosting provider for years. This place is mostly about complaints, so you don't always hear from the many happy users.

Excellent. So hopefully I can sort something out asap. Steamwheedle Cartel is a poorer server without my AH services :D

One potentially noob question: will my MWeb provided Billion ADSL router allow me to access another ISP?
 
Just bumping this to hopefully get an answer to my question regarding my router. Will I be able to connect to another ISP with my MWeb supplied router?
 
If you can access the GUI of the router and change the ADSL account details, then yes.
 
i game first person shooter games (actually just one game #ut99)

and also some diablo 2 online, All using my afrihost unshaped R29 per gig account

I am very sattisfied.
(190-270 ms latency)
