Latency in World of Warcraft

[grandmonkey]

Past couple of months its been creeping up and and up, to high to play at the moment, i usually assume that its Telia thats the problem (as it usually is) but the last few tracert's i have done are showing the biggest spike on the enta network on hop 6, then another at telia (unsurprising!). Any ideas?

I think it's just a rogue result at jump 6 or else it would affect the rest of the results. Anyway, a ping of 45 to the server is great.

You can see on my tracert that i also have two dodgy results. If it really was 210ms all the pings after that hop would be 210ms+.

Hope this helps

Your ping to each step will go via all the previous steps.
The only reason they dont double every time etc is because most routers (e.g. entas) give pings a very low priority over through traffic.
