Hi Guys

I just want to see if anyone else it experiencing this.I connect to wow every night of the week and since the last big patch this is what is happening the pings are awesome at 600-700 sometimes dipping sub 600 anyway as I play the world suddenly freeze and I drop from the server I have to wait for my character to reappear then I can join in again a terrible thing in an instance, this has been happening more i.e every 20-30 minutes usually except yesterday it was every freeking 5 minutes I just want to know if this is UUnet or WoW ? Anyone else having the same issues?

Thanks

On the LOCAL WoW server my pings have been best during the day (+/- 200).
At night it could jump to 600ms. I have had problems where I get disconnected but not every 30mins. After the patch pings decreased alot.....but it might also have been iBurst that fixed something. :D

I experience the same, I have a great ping though, 350-450ms pings sometimes up to 550ms, then after a few minutes I see things doesnt happen anymore, IE. npcs stand still while they should be moving, if i cast a spell the animation starts and never stop with no progress bar...

I then have to click alt-f4 as the games exit button does nothing, then I also have to wait for my char to drop from the server before I can enter again. So I just use telscum connection to play...
 
this issue has been resolved with the 1.4.2 patch
 
NO it hasn't just got back for lunch.. and it froze on me yet again... still don't know why... or even if it is UUnet or Wow anyone on the UUnet account please just see if this happens to you guys to.

the telkom account give me lag spikes up to 2000ms for short bursts of time. Right now I am playing with a IS account.
 
the connection doesnt drop on uunet,is,saix for me
 
Ok just tried again with 1.4.2 and no luck. After about 20 mins the game just stop responding. The uunet pppoe connection is still going strong but the game stops to respond. So alt-f4 and go in again. Kinda iritating. IS and SAIX doesnt do this. IS just have a constant 800ms ping. SAIX is pretty ok, 680ms ping constant sometimes go up to 2000ms for a lil while. But I wish i could play with the uunet 450ms ping for hours instead of minutes.
 
This has only happened resontly since the big patch a few weeks ago .. I wonder if UUnet didn't change something to affect our WoW pings and connection? mm... I was hoping a representative or employee could shed some light.
 
oh I have one more thing to add... playing on the saix account on WoW and man it's so much slower than UUnet... if UUnet fix this I'll stay with them for another month :) I love the pings :) and speed :)
 
Happens to me occasionally on my SAIX account, especially in highly populated areas, but only when I log in. I will login perform an action and the connection will drop. Happens 2 -3 times and then everything is fine. :confused:

I do get dropped occasionally also when I run into a large raid. And also experience intermittent spikes in game latency. When are they eventually going to release WoW locally? It would be so cool to play with 70 -90ms response times. :rolleyes:
 
I get long piriod where my game would freeze but never frop on my Saix account only my UUnet account does this, also the strangest thing when I play with a party member on my screen they stand still but according to my buddy I'm moving around... Don't know why only the UUnet account but I hope it gets fixed soon

Just a quick question, Has this been resolved for everyone or are you guys still suffering with the disconnections? Would just like some feedback to see if things are still going wrong:)

I was seeing the same as you described earlier on isdn over the weekend, but hold thumbs have had good pings and no spikes / lock up this week.
 
I say it again, Im not experiencing this at all (have only 1nc) since I moved to Warsong... I still say its a WOW error and not ADSL or ISDN or whatever.. All lines notice it, its pure fluke if you ask me that only uunet users actually report back it seems.

It happens on every connection.. On some servers more often.
 
My UUNET connection dropped about 10 times today. Everytime I needed to reset my router... Since shaping started nothing is better. Timeouts, high latency and bad pings continues. During the day internet is almost not accessible. You really should see how perfomance is dropping after 8.00 AM. I am getting slowly but surely very disappointed with UUNET.
I am sorry to say, but such a highly developped country like SA has such a poor internet service, its incredible.

@ Warichard

are you shaping now port 80, 110, 21, etc. as well in order to save more money? Milking customers is nice. You have learned a lot in a very short time from Telkom.
 
Okay I have tried some setting that I read up on the wow page. 1st Change your network card to Full Duplex 100 forced, then go to your powermanagement setting and turn this off. Last night I did drop again HOWEVER it was significantly less and my pings stayed a little more stable when pinging places like google.com :) I hope this helps. I agree with clipse, after last night it seems to be a WoW problem :)
