Ave. Ping?

Hey Guys I live in Australia ( fairly far from america) and have been having problems with my multiboxing. I use keyclone but he doesnt follow properly. My latency ranges from 500-1000 on American servers and I am going to try oceanic. I am fine just single playing a guy on american servers but my 2nd guy just doesnt follow properly.

Macros I have.

Assist.
Follow.

Running Windows XP sp2 please dont get technical i am kinda new to this
EDIT: And is there a macro to make him turn in quests I dont wanna manual them :P

[/quote]Well there is your problem, have you tried disabling the Nagle's algorithm? [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=24966&highlight=Nagle %27s+algorithm#post24966']the latency trick[/url] (Look for Ellay's post).
If that doesnt work you could try a proxy connection to the blizzard servers.

Definitely disable naggling.

But, "Oceanic" servers are still located in the US. There has been an ongoing dispute with the Australian government of the use of THEIR servers. As I'm sure you know, the government of Australia owns teh intarwebs, there.

Hopefully my information is outdated, but I stop playing when my latency hits 500ms

It sucks, but whatchagonnado? :P

[edit] If you have fiber interwebz available, I'd highly recommend it. Your ISP will determine just how awesome it is but I'm loving my 9-11ms latency here on Verizon FiOS. :D

I believe there is a large difference in ping related to server location. Here's a useful link:

Going from Deathwing in Boston to Tichondrius in Los Angeles, my ping went from 150-200ms to 15-20ms. I live in Orange County, CA, which is neighboring Los Angeles.

I have a friend in Australia that said his pings went from 500-600ms on Deathwing to 250ms or so on Tichondrius. If I were you I'd sign on a few and see what difference it makes. You might find yourself a better match that way.
