Your modem is either the luckiest one I know or the toughest. What brand? McLaine (Die Hard) aaa?

This is a list of barang that close lightning strikes have done to my PC in the last 3 years:
- Surge protector x2 (real bullshit)
- Power Supply x2
- modem x2
- motherboard x1

Maybe I should go farm some instances for nature resist gear for the PC.

218.xxx.xxx.xxx works well for me, typically 400-600ms latency.
219.xxx..xxx.xxx is typically 600-1000ms these days

nagflar, you need to be more specific laa...

Like where you are connecting from, what service you use, then go and do tracert (see below). Without those important information, a fortune teller has a better chance to help you than us laa

How to do tracert (if you didnt know how to already):
- Click Start, choose Run option
- type: cmd
- type: tracert -h 20 logon.us.worldofwarcraft.com > c:\tracewow.txt
- close window, go to explorer C: drive, look for the file named "tracewow.txt"
- Go to LYN, then copy and paste the contents of the file here

Suffice to say, if you were asked to nominate any company or a quality service award, TMNet would be pretty far down the list.

I'm sure of the tens of thousands they employ there must be some good employees but the front line staff are incredibly unhelpful. ignorant, and some downright moronic. Call their help line and list all the bullshit excuses you get, ranging from "your modem got problem" to "the sun shined too hot today and the heat affected cable traffic speeds" all of course are not TMNet's problem.

If not for tunneling service e.g. Gamepath I would have quit playing wow since last year. Impossible to do 25man raids for me without this service having tried both Jaring and Streamyx. When you compare the usual 500-700ms you can get with Streamyx / Jaring vs 250-300ms with tunneling service its a whole different game, especially if you PVP. Would have saved me several smashed mice.

My only regret is it took me 5 years to find out.
