Yo guys, I have some great info for some of us stranded and hopeless WoW gamers.

First off, know why some of us cannot get out of the 219.95 IP? Its because we are the early birds of streamyx who registered for the service when it just came out. We will not get our IPs changed because we are fixed on 219.95. And because this is an early bird line a lot of people are fixed to it permanently, which is port 1. A lot of people are using it and thus having congestion. For those that registered later, you guys arent fixed on any of the IPs because you are not using port 1. All the while they have 4 ports, and now they just opened port 5.

The telekom technical guy that always comes to my house to test my line is also frustrated at his boss because he is always asked to do the same thing over and over again without anything getting fixed. He said he's the one thats facing the customers and have already known this 219.95 problem. He promised to get my port changed later in the noon and said I will get another IP after that with confidents, even called his colleague at my house and asked him to change it.

Man I'm so happy now, 3 months of crappage and now a ray of hope just shot in. He said I'll be getting port 5! I hope I get uber smooth connection from now on lol but I dont know if the port matters.

I'll be updating you guys on the result later. Was gonna go to clickers today but guess I can skip it. I signed the petition too btw.

Well, ports assigned to you on a dslam doesn't necessarily means you'll get a different IP batch assigned to you

IPs are usually assigned by means of .. per-Dslam basis.. meaning everyone on the same area will get the same IP-assigning policy...

but still I could be wrong hopefully if it's really based on port... then you're one lucky fella

good luck

I am one of the first subscribers as well, and yes, I can't seem to get out of 219.95.*

That said, while it may be congested, I also noticed that Port 1, if I am indeed on it, is great as far as stability is concerned. I don't get the disconnection problems like some of you have rather frequently. In fact, I can't seem to remember when was the last time I got disconnected.

WoW latency is tolerable now... and I must rather have stability over slightly better performance.

These guys called back within an hour, gave me a new port which is port 5. I'm still stuck on an IP tho, but now my IP is 60.64. No disconects so far, ping is 700 - 800, not as what I expected but its hella better than getting 1k - 1.2k. The delay reduced, no teleporting characters, no lag spike, the differenses is obvious. Anyway for those of you who are getting this port, whats your game play like? I asked for a 218 IP he said thats port 2 and its full. Dint manage to ask him what about those that can change on reconnects. I cant call him back, he gave me a wrong number lol. But his modem is still with me, gonna ask him when he comes again.

Tarpau, I dont think its area because my neighbour can get any IP, hes one of the later ones, 500 ish latency for him.

Wow, nice. Then the IPs are probably assigned based on the batch of customers.. whether you're the newer ones or the older ones..

60.x.x.x IP seems to be the best I think...

Guess it's back to WoW for you

Ping dropped to 600 ish, I'm really starting to enjoy the game again and yeah, back to WoW for me, this is great They dont allow changing ports actually but the guy was kind enough to go change it secretly from the backdoor. I wish everyone will have their problems fixed too and enjoy the game that we have waited for 5 years.

My IP is 219.94.*.* at the moment.

I disabled Trellis Coding on my modem. It seems alot smoother now. 600 - 700 as opposed to 1.0k - 1.2k.

Hmmm... how do you do this? Disable Trellis Coding, that is...

Mine's a D-Link DSL-series modem.

that one have to use telnet and use console command to do it. I don't have the command manual with me right now but I can check for you later when I back home.

whoaa noob here.. wtf is Trellis Coding...

Man.....today is totally unplayable for me. Sigh.....


Even got problem when surfing lowyat.net

Well.. I am getting IP range of either 60 (not sure if it is 60.64) or 218 all the time.. Never had experience of getting 195 yet..

If you ask me about my connection, I would say it is hell after 7pm I am waking up early to play lag-free WOW nowadays

ask uncle google. btw... eikan you can't do anything to your USB modem config.

Anyone using dialup to play WOW here?

Which provider is better? Jaring or TMNet?

I tried TimeNET last time when Streamyx was having packet loss problem(1-2 years back?) and the connection was wonderful.. TimeNET is not an option now thou since it is now much more expensive than Jaring and TMNet now

Might go register for a dialup line as backup for Streamyx lol

reis, can you check your pm's please, very much appreciated =)

Replied Anyway, 60.48 aint very good at night, suffering massive packet losses ><

Using Idigi and jaring , very playable , latency around 500-800ms, very minimal packet loss.

i'm also the first batch of streamyx user , can only get the 219.95.xx.xx ip , but the line is quite stable this couple days with yesterday(6/5/05) extremely good , played from 10.30pm till 4am(today) , got constant latency of 400-700++ms and the latency bar is 80% of the time stay yellow with very minimal packet loss, guess this is the best days ever since i played WOW for 2 mths.

Less packet losses tonight, morning till evening is great. I'm starting to ignore the ping numbers. All I care is when I click my spell it turns up immediately. Well we cant have it immediately but like 0.5 seconds later, good enough. 60.48 IP sometimes shows as 1.2k but the command gets through within 0.5 seconds. No teleports too. Have a friend that runs on yellow pings but the delay is 1 second or more, so its bad.

Anyway arrow, please update us again on other times, whats the result

Luckily I'm not taking a break from WoW coz of my exams
It's really depressing that a yellow latency bar is the best we can archieve
Anyway, noob question: What are packet losses exactly?

in summary, packet losses = data sent from the sender to receiver is not received by receiver. eg. postal mail that went missing.
