Hi all

I live in the Khandallah area of Wellington and am currently on telstra cable. For many many months my average latency/ping is around the 400 mark, maybe 350 and this is not using a any tunnel services such as lowerping.com.

If you live in the Wellington suburbs and play WoW can you please post your average pings for me?

Thanks in advance, as I am seriouslly looking at changing to Telecom as I live within 1km of an exchange.

I was playing up till two weeks ago (approx 2km from the Courtenay Place Central Exchange) and would generally get between 300 and 400 through Xtra.
Occasionaly I did get as low as 150, but that was very rare.

I would definately recommend using a ssh tunnel service. It will have a greater impact on your ping than changing ISP in my opinion.

I recommend www.wowtunnels.com over lowerping, there is also a couple of kiwi gamers running similar services eg: www.pingbetter.co.nz
