OK, after the so-called upgrades that TM conducted which was supposed to be completed on the 2nd of July, my connection, which previously had a decent latency to WoW servers, turned bad.

Before today, the latency when playing WoW was always in the range of 200-400ms. Now, its fluctuates between 500-1000ms.

I am on a good IP in my area which is 218.208.*.*

Previously, I was getting quality connections to WoW like this. This is the trace route taken before the 2/7/07 upgrades from my house in Sentul, Jalan Ipoh, KL

I really, really hope this is just a temporary hiccup that will go away in time. Otherwise, I would have no more chance to enjoy WoW like I previously did. 1000ms is pretty much unacceptable.

Hey guys, its finally here. 3000+ ms with lag spikes on IP 218.208.*.*
