I just tweak window's registry to set the TcpAckFrequency default value to 1 instead of 2. I explained how to do it in the lowerping thread below. However got flamed cos some people dun know how to do it lolx. Anyways, am playing with 200ms latency now using the windows registry tweak plus my website loading times are AWESOME! really dang fast. It has to do with windows.

You see the way it works is windows sets your pc to ping the server and waits for a reply then ping again for more info. Whereas once i set the default to 1 it just pings the server like a mad man lolx. So ping and keep on telling the server that it needs more info instead of waiting for the server to reply then ping again. I hope this explains how my method works.

**Do not this might not work for some. But so far among my friends about 30++ of them it works compared to 4 of them of whom this method doesn't work.

And now to explain how to do this:-

1. Run Regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > Tcpip > Parameters > Interfaces
3. under Interfaces you open one of the folders (The one with your ip)
4. Right Click and New>DWORD Value
5. Value name : TcpAckFrequency : Value Data = 1

6. Close and restart.

I understand there will be a few folders to choose from I did it by trial and error, i.e. DO one the test wow, check ping, if it's not low enough then do the same in another folder to get the right folder, cos i could not find one which stated my i.p.

I know not everyone likes to tweak their registry but those who like to this is another option instead of installing linux.

Hope this helps =)

Cool dude, u do the tutorial lolx.

Anyways, as to which folder to use, I guess everyone is a different one? I just tried one by one. Trial and error and got it. Now both my laptop and pc are on the same thing, and both running same line to get on wow and ping is good stable around 200++

Hmm.. have been using the registry tweak and my surfing is actually faster and also it didn't affect my torrents. Plus You tube for some reason loads faster? lolx. I dunno lah go figure.

Yeah seems that teh reg hack works for some of us only, I'm using the reg hack and its magic for me =) doing 200++ms.

Actually the tweak doesn't affect my torrentz at all seriously. I guess it's just Theory Vs Practical.

Well, from what my friend told me last night he said it also has to do with the router make and model. I dun know how or what the problem is cos nobody really asked him further about it last night. Will try to get hold of him to find out exactly why it works for some and not others.

I wonder why some people are here against registry tweaks? Scared of the machine? O_O lolx. Overall, still the best solution would be to ( in order of sequence)

1. move to the US (Cost is hte main factor )

2. Use Linux OS ( More Knowledge needed compared to the Evil Windows )

3. Tweak your registry (doesn't work for everyone)

4. Use a Linux Box ($$ to get a junk pc or spare up some ram on ur present pc)

5. Subscribe to 3rd party Traffic Tunnelling and risk getting banned.

'nuff said.
