    WoW lagg. Best ISP? (Canada)

    Hello, a week ago i decided to make a new character in Darkspear for PvP only purposes. My main characters are on illidan. Now I noticed, on Illidan my latency is about 55ms and on Darkspear is about 125ms. This is probably due to server locations, but I heard can be fixed if i were to switch to a good ISP. Atm I am using Telus, thought it would be good enough but its kinda annoying to have 125ms now Any recommendations or how to lower my ms?

    Thanks

    I am located in Canada

    125ms isn't that bad. This may be helpful though if you are searching for a new ISP? Canadian ISP - Find an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Canada

    The chances of you being able to lower it very much by switching however is very low, since that is your ping with their server. If you want to get a lower ping with their server, do a tracert to find out where it is located, and then move there.

    Server choice also makes a big difference, if you choose a choose stationed closest to you, your ping will drop. (Sometimes drastically, I went from a pacific Californian server to a server based eastern, not certain where, but id say maybe new york. and my ping went from 120 to around 60-80.)

    yea i do realize this but the thing is, both servers are exactly of equal distance to me. LA server is 40 KM closer than chicago server, yet it gives me more lag
