I dont know where to post this, but I guess that's why I'm posting it here  ;)

Here's my problem.. in the game World of Warcraft, I lag so much.

If there are numours people present, a lag is understanble. However, sometimes when there's no one around, I still lag. It feels "cluncky". It's not a smooth movement and I dont know the cause of this.

Here's my spec:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
Memory: 1022 MB RAM
Graphic card: GeForce 6800 GS 256 MB

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Download Connection is:: 4886 Kbps about 4.89 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB)
Download Speed is:: 596 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 2)
Test Time:: 2006/07/11 - 4:03am
Bottom Line:: 85X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.72 sec
Tested from a 5983 kB file and took 10.031 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 49.79 % faster than the average for host (rogers.com)
D-Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-75HJ9DKV6
User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Rogers Hi-Speed Internet; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

::::::::::.. Upload Stats ..::::::::::
Upload Connection is:: 403 Kbps about 0.4 Mbps (tested with 748 kB)
Upload Speed is:: 49 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 1)
Test Time:: 2006/07/11 - 2:06am
Bottom Line:: 7X faster than 56K 1MB Upload in 20.9 sec
Tested from a 748 kB file and took 15.19488 seconds to complete
Upload Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 86.48 % of your hosts average (rogers.com)

hi coldcell
welcome to the forum
seems like you have a pretty OKAY PC and your connection seems fine too
well the speed maybe not the Latency
latency is what causes lag, and here are a few things u could do to spot latency issues

i don't know how WoW works, so i don't know if u could do a tracert to their server
but i am sure they have 100's of servers so u wont be able to

try doing a tracert to testmy.net
click on start > Run > type cmd and press OK
a window will open and then type tracert www.testmy.net

once that has finished u could also try typing ping -t www.testmy.net
let it got for a few seconds and then press CTRL + C to stop it
copy the results and paste them here also

the issue is not that you don't have enough bandwidth

please post ur results here

hi again coldcell

your issue is not bandwidth
as in you have enough bandwidth you dont need any more

your trace route looks very good actually
some of it under 10ms and all of it under 100ms which is really good

i really dont know why you have this lag problem
does any one have any other ideas?

Yes I have the latest graphic card driver installed.

I hardly play online games other than World of Warcraft, so I have no idea how my PC perform in other games. Though it works fine in single player games..

May be it's just WoW is demanding :S I thank you for your help though!

coldcell this doesnt seem like a internet problem at all, if you have the newet drivers for your graphics card and that didnt make a difference then lower the graphics setting for the game and see if it still does it.
