Those registry edits do effect latency, by my understanding it makes your pc send small incomplete packets, instead of waiting for enough data to send to make a full packet. Or something like that. But I read it can make normal traffic like port 80 run slower. I don't do any 25's or anything, but my WoW seems to run ohkay although pvp is bit hard when you're 500ms behind. I've seen some stuff on the forums talking about how WoW transfers data, and apparently something they do, effectively doubles latency. My connection seems to be around as bad as your http://www.speedtest.net/result/522796080.png Also whats Smoothping like, did you notice an improvement? Been hacked? Does it cost?

SmoothPing is free, for now..... The theory behind how it works is sound, so I have no reason to think it is a scam except for the fact that it seems like there is nothing in it for them to host the service. They are planning on charging for it at some stage.

The registry change only affects acknowledgements - that is, your computer has already recieved and accepted the information, it just doesn't acknowledge to the server that it has until it has another acknowledgement to send. The in game latency bar is based on the time it takes for the acknowledgements to come back to the server - that way you don't actually need to send ICMP packets to test the latency on the connection. But delaying the acknowledgements doesn't slow down anything in the game, so while its true that you get a lower latency reading in the game from the registry change, nothing is actually being done any faster.

Just got off the phone with Orcon again, they are telling me they are waiting to see if there is a trend developing so they can determine if the problem is local to my connection or if other customers are having issues as well.

That seems a bit slack to me.

Anyway, here's the updated graph.
