Would like to know anyone playing in US WoW that have their server located in US?

Got lag?

I am playing in doomhammer and the server is located in US. My home ms is ok, but my world ms is over 1k-2k and this problem happens 3 days ago.

Tried Oceanic and Latin America server and both latency is stable.

i had contacted wow tech support and did their test and they suspect the peering partner of connection form malaysia to US somewhere are having disruption, asking me to notify my isp. i then contacted streamyx CS and they cannot locate any abnormality. :/

not sure bro..maybe its your streamyx

if i am not mistaken. oceanic servers are also located in US...

I think they are at US but a different location. Am now in a dilemma, cause i can't play in my original server

What server are you originally from ?

doomhammer

usually new patch = lag

most probably streamyx playing up again. I am playing in Nordrassil (US) server, logged in this morning and lag is quite minimal even in crowded SW

at server lightninghoof. streamyx 2mb latency 200+ms (home) 300+ms (world). no tunnel

you are the lucky person in msia

I got that latency with streamyx 1mb & no tunnel..

The geographical location for all servers US and Oceanic are the same. Call up 100 to get your lines checked, most of us that raids have some sorta tunneling program to improve on latency.

Good luck.

My latency without this problem is at 200+ms home 400+ms world, which i am totally happy about it. But now my latency are always 400+ms home 1.2K-1.4k World. my character would spike for 3-4sec every 10sec.

I called streamyx(100) customer service for more than 10 times and also forced them to level my problem to higher ups. Unfortunately all they can reply(even the manager) is their services have no interruption and it is not their fault that i am lagging.

I found out that doomhammer's data center is located in New York while dreadmaul is located at Los Angelas. While i am only lagging while i am playing in most server located in New York, i suspect something went wrong along the way from where i am located to New York.

I also posted my problem in technical support in WOW"s forum and so far they cannot pin point the problem due to (once again) streamyx had blocked traceroute option.

Anyway, i tried all all their other options like deleting Cache,WTF and Interface folder and run 'repair' option. Disable my Anti-virus. flush my DNS, use a free DNS, all and all my problem persisted.

I however do not have any problem playing other games like Heroes of Newerth and my download speed doesn't seems to be affected as well.Right now i am running out of options.

1. Ping TM's DNS, if you are getting latency <30, which mean your line is theoretically OK. In other word, TM has already fulfilled their SLA, dont bother to call them.

2. Sign up any tunneling service that provide free trial. Load em up and see if your latency to WoW improve.

I used to raid without tunneling but since the earlier some undersea cables got bitten by some sharks/alien/whatever sea monster the latency to US has went downhill, not the same as it used to be. Tunneling is your best friend to WoW now.
