Hi;
Just wanted to add that recently (for the last 3 weeks) i have been complaining to Streamyx regarding the high latency issue (at all hours for me =( ) on my IP range that started about 4 weeks ago...
I was shocked to find out that despite all the complaining I hear on the forums, Streamyx tells me I'm the only one who has complained to them about it... being told that "just one person" not enough to quantify a serious investigation is really really upsetting me (more then usual for streamyx).
So I'd like to ask that everyone who has had bad experience with the wow server latency (e.g. 600 ms ++) please call them up and lodge a report and be stubbon about keeping that report open until they realise that their advertising about how great Streamyx is for online gaming is utter bull for any MMORPG worth paying for (I actually got a tech that suggested I switch to a local korean based MMORPG since my oversea line is bad... wtf).
Location: USJ
"Good IP":
60.51.xxx.xxx (used to get 300-500ms for this line now its a nightmare of lowest being 800ms = no raiding =( )
Rest IP :
60.48.xxx.xxx (rubbish get 1k minimum for me)
60.50.xxx.xxx (same problem)
60.52.xxx.xxx (ditto)

It's likely that the TMNet representative you talked to was just making stuff up, much like my own experience with them when I called them up a few months ago regarding the bad latency in WoW. Back then it was just the onset of worsening latency, and after months of putting up with the laggy gameplay I finally gave up and tried calling them up and complaining about the situation. The representative on the other end of the line told me that Blizzard was--no joke--blocking traffic from Malaysia, and they could not do anything about it.
What a load of bull.
He didn't even bother forwarding my complaint, or even look into the matter, but simply shrugged and pushed the blame to another party. A friend of mine lodged a similar complaint, demanding to know why the service was so bad, and the person on the other end of the line claimed ignorance and avoided giving him an answer.
TMNet is touting their broadband service as THE solution to high-speed internet tasks in Malaysia, including large file downloads and smooth online gaming, neither of which are entirely possible, with the throttling of bittorrent bandwidth--even for legitimate and legal downloads--and this latency problem with WoW.
Sadly the only solution now is to work around the problem by hoping you hit the right IP, but it doesn't have to be this way. Call them up and complain, I'm sure the WoW playerbase in Malaysia is large enough to make themselves heard
