my vanilla ping is usually in the region of 600-800 depending on IP...

i started using the registry fix when it was discovered like 2 yrs ago.. it gives me ping of 350-450 depending on IP till even today... i have no problem with connection issue or spike or anything unless sub cable broke..

im wondering does services like LP or GP can further help reduce some more... since LP/GP also using the same tricks.. so is a bit redundant?

could be better especially when ur isp decides to screw up the routings. other than that, not really. to me, couldnt be bothered as my linux box works fine and i dont feel like paying the extra bit for rather marginal gains.

Trying to diagnose an internet connection problem based on GFX hardware/drivers is like trying to solve a stomach ache by buying larger shoes.

that is true, however, if ur having bad fps or interface lag etc, it can and WILL affect latencies.

Well, my point being if you're getting bottleneck issues (very likely if this crops up on bosses and not trash, been there, had that happen to me, etc) it's a network issue.

The other point being it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a choppy framerate or smooth-as-buttocks FPS while everyone runs in place and characters happily channel green fistfuls of vomit, and describe the problem as such.

old/buggy raid/dmg meter/data collection mods will hog up enough bandwidth to screw your latency, and/or cause frequent disconnections.

thats one example.

How is that not a network connection/bandwidth issue? Updating your graphics card drivers won't help that. :S

never ever mentioned anything about specifically graphic issues. and its more towards interface issue than connection/bandwidth issue especially when the problem goes away by simply disabling the said problematic UI.

heck, even for graphics, if ur fps is low (sub 30), you can notice a slight increase in latency especially if ur in heavy population areas (major towns, or raids)
