What kind of internet connection do you guys have?

[Chrysanthe]

Just outa curiosity, since I see a few posts here with [56k warning].. Is it a synchronous or asynchronous line?

I recently switched from a 5M/900k DSL line to 10M/1M Cable (both asynchronous, of course) and my latency went down from like 80 - 100 ms to around 50 ms :D:D:D

[not5150]

Fios 20 Megabits/sec up and down :)

[Naylix]

Fibre aswell, 25/25Mbit cap atm, no download/upload limits. Rumors are it will be upped to 100/50 mbit within 2009, at the same price. But the ISP has yet to confirm anything.

35-40ms latency ingame.

[technical stuff]
More importantly, my ISP peers directly with Telia (and ofc a bunch of others), but since the wow-servers are served on Telia backbones in France, I get very few hops. I believe I have been dc'ed from wow less than 10 times since launch. Including server breakdowns, Draenor-EU had some serious issues at one time, where people was kicked off constantly. After they did some hardware upgrades and Draenor was included, those problems vanished and it has been a very stable realm since.

6/1Mbit atm, moving in 2 weeks and aim for something better

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Verizon FiOS fiber 15/5 here. 9-11ms latency to Magtheridon = win.

[Blackguarde]

Cable, 8meg/2 Meg , but sometimes my connection spikes as high as 24,000k on the down.

[Chrysanthe]

So, how much do you guys pay for a synchronous line anyway? (like 10M up and down)

[Nepida]

Wow I feel slow with my 6/1 :)

[Mystrana]

8meg DL 300 somethen UL adsl but im here in Australia so my lat sits around 400-500

[not5150]

I get digital hdtv with my package. Everything (with taxes) comes out to about $130 a month.

[Haruko]

We run Covad T1 connection through a *cough* business *cough* in the house. 3 other neighbors use it as well Ever since a drunk driver hit one of the power poles/lines. We keep comcast cable as a backup @ 39.99 for 12-months.

edit: We are currently waiting for Verizon to make FIOS close to us so hopefully we can switch to that.

[Anjuna]

FIOS... but im getting ready to move in Dec and will likely have to settle for cable or some crap like that. /wrists

[cairnz]

i pay 790 nok/month for 100/100 fibre.

just realized there was such a community for multiboxing - just got started with keyclone and such, see lot of potential for fun :D

[Skuggomann]

8 Mb dow, not that great : \ 350ms (dam iceland) also thers not rilly enny FIOS in iceland, maby liek 50-60'000 houses have it :S

[Aethon]

I had just a 712K DSL line and ran 4 connections without much problem at all. Maybe 150ms lat

Now I've got a 10/2 FiOS line, but every damn test I do from speedguide.net says ~4.5M down :-/

[Stoneblood]

20mbit Virgin broadband. They allegedly have a 50mbit connection coming out before the end of the year, which I'll get :)

[mikekim]

2mb ADSL (pipex) 40-70ms latency runs 5 accounts fine

[mmcookies]

wow... now i have bandwidth envy

all i got is this cable that drops out every so often *_*

[Fleecy]

Unfortunately New Zealand telecommunications and data are considerably behing the rest of the world. The fastest domestic internet connection avaiable to me is 8Mbit / 1Mbit (down/up). My in-game WoW ping is usually sitting around 400-500ms, but since I've been using a tunneling service my in-game ping down to ~180-200ms.

[valkry]

Oh hai, 400-600 ms latency on average. Australian internet/no local servers ftl :(

i run off broadband, pretty crap but gets the job done I suppose.

[Hachoo]

I have 5Mb down and 768Kb up cable - latency is around 50ms with the latency registry settings. Based on some issues I had with my cable modem previously that was limiting my down rate to around 750Kb, I would say the minimum speed to 5 box would be 1.5Mb or you'll be hurting big time.

[Tasty]

1.5mb down, not sure about up prolly 256k. Run at 400ms on average, tbh I don't really notice it. That is, until I lose an arena match ;)

[valkry]

I find it funny when the seppos complain of bad/unbearable lag (250-400ms) and I quote "it is virtually impossible to raid with such a slow reaction time, GG blizz, fix this bullshit."

Welcome to our world 8)

You guys might want to try the tcpackfrequency hack that should reduce your latency.

I was getting 200ms on my fios after the change I get 43 ms :)

Now I always hit first on the warrior charge, before that I would get stunned first or get the dreaded simultaneous charge/stun.

[valkry]

Done that already. That took me from a 650 avg to 430 avg...

I always lol inside when I kill a warrior as he charges me, I get the stun but his body is lying 20yds away. Oh yea, with my latency, those 2 secon stuns or w/e actually last about 3-4 seconds. In arenas it is a killer. i might move to the states or Europe one day just to avoid this. Well, one of the reasons I will eventually move out of Australia lol.

[Kaynin]

1.5Mbps, running four chars at 150ms latency average. *shrug*

I kinda live in a forest in the middle of nowhere. Apparantly 1.5Mbps is the max available for me. :p

Now I always hit first on the warrior charge, before that I would get stunned first or get the dreaded simultaneous charge/stun.hehehe.. did that too already, got me down to like 80ish ms from around 300ish.. but now that I am back to cable, I am at 50ish ms :D
Looks like Cable has gotten tons better than DSL nowadays... my ISP is planning on increasing the speed to 20Mbit pretty soon, and guess what? I'm going to be one of the first to get it ^.^

After a bit of investigation work I need to make a clarification to my earlier post, my connection speed is 10Mbps (1.3Mbytes per second), using the TCP fix my in game ping is ~360 - 380. Without the fix it sits around 450-650. Using my tunnelling service it sits around ~180-230ms.

I find it highly amusing when I hear Americans complaining about 80-150ms ping saying it's impossible to raid. :)

[Meeo]

Fios 15/15

[Robash]

Cable 22Mb down, 2Mb up my lat is around 30-40 ms

[Hachoo]

I wouldn't even be able to multibox with a constant 200ms ping time. When my ping goes above 150ms I can no longer use epic mounts. One or more of my alts lose follow constantly unless I tap the movement key giving them plenty of time to catch up.

If I use my paladin then I have to have a ping time of 100 or less to use crusader aura.

How on earth do you guys with 200-600ms ping times even do it? I'd go insane and cancel all my accounts in a heartbeat if I had to deal with that.
