I use Wowtunnels religiously, its definitely worth the small extra monthly cost.

I might try this, i moved back to Ticondrius realm and straight away i notice the lag. Im playing at around 350ms is the norm sometimes it reaches 700ms! On Oceanic servers i was at around 180 - 220ms without any tunnels in use. Only moved back to TICH cause its the best realm for dueling others outside Orgrimmar, at times there are so many outside org dueling that my pc laggs cause of it. lol But yes i will have to use a tunnel if i want to survive on this realm.

I'd love to know what ISP you're using, with latency that low.

im using telstraclear, what are you using to get a latency that high?

I'm with TelstraClear too, and am at 174 right now. That actually surprised me, since I'm usually at more like 220-250. Hopefully this lower latency becomes the norm.

And don't quote me so quickly :P
