High MS Problems

[Sylus]

Ever since I've joined WoWFreakz, I've had quite a bit of lag. But usually, the lag stays low, at a rate of about 100 ms. But recently, my ms has been jumping into the thousands, which is quite frustrating, as it may seem. I have the most problems at night, after midnight. I at least get 3k ms. I can't load anything, huge delay, and overall frustration. So I went over to the Ookla speed test, and I checked my speed. I had a ping of 14 ms. I also had 12mbs of download speed. I later messaged a GM, and they told me that it could be a problem with my ISP. So I contacted them, and they did I health test on my internet, and it was no different. 11mbs of download, and 12 ms of ping. I currently live in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and there's usually 400 people online when I get the lag spikes. I contacted the GM once more, and this time he told me to go over to General Discussions. So if anyone has any idea what's going on, I beg of you, please help me.


Frustrated,
Sylus

It says the peek was 1.5k, but on WoW, the ms is raised to 9k. I've been waiting for 10 minutes, and the honor/conquest vendors still refuse to appear.

[UPDATE] I had a friend come over and we both tried the internet at the same time, on Freakz. He received 150 ms, while I received in the thousands. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Frustrated,
Sylus

Absolutely. And this also seems to happen only on Freakz. During my freetime, I downloaded w****** just to see what happens, and I didn't get that much lag on it. Seems to only be on Freakz.

I suggest you also use tracert in the CMD to see how many hops it takes to reach the server and you can maybe find the issue where it actually spikes also try pinging and see if u get a packet loss.

Second option is to use a VPN. Here is the guide to use a vpn posted by @Orga

Hello. Unfortunately as you can see this is not something from our end, it doesn't have anything to do with our servers, the high latency is from the international nodes. It's random that "it only happens on wow freakz", it most likely happens for other random servers around the world, depending on the road the packets choose when they come to wow freakz. We have no control at all over that, I'm afraid we can't offer you a simple solution (except change your ISP)

I did a broadband line quality test, and it says I have no packet loss. But I will try changing my ISP, after my 2 month contract is over. I guess I'll have to just stay on Freakz during the daytime.
