    High latency in WoW with fast internet

     
    Hey guys, I'm having a problem and was hoping someone could offer some advice. I'm having pretty high latency every night playing World of Warcraft, around 300-400ms world. My home lat is almost always lower, only around 100-150ms. I live on the east coast and play on a west coast server so I realize my lat is going to be a little higher but I don't think it should be anywhere near where it is. I ran a speed test and I got 30.76 mbps download and 21.56 mbps upload. I have Verizon Fios internet and my computer is hooked straight in to the modem, less than a foot away. I have an Intel(R) 82567V-2 Gigabit network adapter, and have tried updating the drivers for it. Thanks in advance if anyone can offer any help!

    Are you using XP? I have heard that the half open ports limit in Windows can have a negative effect on WOW. Try this. www.LvlLord.de - Tipps, Tricks & Utilities - Tools

    Disable and Remove Half-Open TCP Connections Limit (to Unlimited) in Windows 7 and Vista SP2 with EnableConnectionRateLimitin Registry Key - KezNews.com

    I have Windows 7, I went in to the registry and 'EnableConnectionRateLimiting' wasn't in there so I guess it's already disabled.

    High latency in WoW

    Turn off Windows Defender. Can not turn off Windows Defender (Tools is disabled)

    Make sure to add an exception to WOW in the Windows firewall.

    It is!

    Hey, mikef8705. What exactly did fix the problem? Was it the registry fix or getting rid of the patches?
