Playing WOW in oceanic server

Currently i am using singtel 1gb plan. i was getting 100ms to 120ms (Home Server) 1 month ago.

Now my ms shot up to 200+ms consistenly every day... called the technician came down reset everything from back end, cant solve any thing.


I wanted to go for myrepublic, but i understand the dual band plans, both are dedicated. and i need 3 router setup at my place, not really setup friendly, and they recommend me to install new cabling, which is really troublesome.

I was wondering how is
- M1 and starhub Gaming connection especially WOW oceanic servers?

Any butties playing wow can share their MS numbers?

Appreciated

1st and foremost, are you using wireless or wired cable connection?

If you are using wireless, I suggest you dont bother changing ISP. Bottleneck is most likely on your end rather than ISP to WoW Oceania servers.

If you are using wired connection, you will have 2 options

1) Pick a VPN instead.
- regardless whichever ISP, there will be times that you lag out due to traffic shaping (famous to both S***** ISPs).
- MudFish https://mudfish.net/ is a popular WOW gamer choice when it comes to VPN

2) ISP Change
- Go for either MyRepublic or ViewQwest. Both seems to have good routing and latency to Oceania server like Barthilas or Frost or Cael (assuming you are on any of these).
- I dont understand about the Dual Band or dedicate choice you mentioned. But if you are using wired connection, it should be fine.

I dont play WoW on both Fros and Barthilas as much nowadays but my last check (using VQ) is 92ms ping for both Barthilas and Fros to me.

im using wired connection.

i have 2 gaming pc, 1 in bedroom 1 and bedroom 2. and i need wireless coverage in the living room and kitchen.
Myrepublic dual gamers plan, both line are dedicated. if i route both to the room, my kitchen n parts of the living room will have dead spots, unless i add a wireless router in the living room. which u cant, unless u do additional cable works directly from the living room router to bedroom or vice versa.

My ONT point is in the kitchen, and during renovation, i install 4 lan points that scretch to all bedrooms and living room.

other plans like 1+1 singtel gaming. 1gb is general usage which i can expand to 2-3 routers and to bedroom 1, the other 1 gb dedicated i can route directly to bedroom 2 for gaming.

if normal m1 plan or starhub plan without dedicated lines have low ms. it will solved my singtel high ms issue :D

From the way you describe, I am assuming its the 2 (1+1) Gbps plan. My comment is its pointless unless you are having a bandwidth contention : meaning you have users and/or app (eg torrenting/SDWan) occupying heavy usage of the current 1Gbps bandwidth. But I suspect this is NOT the case.

Since you are using wired, I assume you also have a decent router in place and usage is not full *99% of the households wont even fully utilise more than 500Mbps* , therefore your issue is with SIngTel. They are the one changing the routing at times.

As I said, you need to get a VPN like mudfish or ExpressVPN (i was using when playing WoW and theres no lag when I do 30 man raid) to solve your issue

I am on normal VQ plan.

Maybe you should check with the Singapore players on WoW.

Overall, I will skip ST for gaming.

I am on MR with static IP for gaming (not WoW). Been reliable and low ping for the last 5 years. But that will be based on the game servers you are playing.

Do you have server ip?

I can share VQ route so that it can help you in deciding which Isp to use.

Played wow in BFA and was getting about 90+ to 120 ms ping on frostmourne and other oceanic servers. Quit wow during early shadowlands and now i'm back for dragonflight. Ping is now 260-280ms for both home and world. On M1, direct wire connect to the router.

They probably changed the route or something to c ock up the ping man
