  • (WoW) Lebanese internet, an ever fluctuating experience.

Be warned, I'm new.

I've spent 6-7 years playing video games to the hardcore level. I've been playing WoW/SC2/CoD at the highest levels possible and I couldn't help but notice our country's beautiful Internet.

When Ogero released their ADSL and HDSL, I was, well my dad was, among the first people to purchase the HDSL package for himself and the 1Mbit ADSL package for me, and for the FIRST time ever I saw something which resembles a LAN game. WoW had gone from roughly 400-500 MS on EU servers to 100-170. It was the best days of my gaming life. I might be coming off abit geeky here, but fuck it, I am. Latency continued to be great come the following months, as shown in the bottom photo.



It was perfect, nothing more than what I've asked for.
But then, tragedy struck, a sad warrior couldn't spell reflect anything anymore because of lagg.








And for 1-2 years I've been stuck using programs like Smoothping, Lowerping, Gamebooster, Gamepath, WTFast. As well as implementing latency reduction methods such as disabling Nat's Algorithm and many more. All to no benefit what so ever. I come here today to outline the fact that Ogero has gone from good, to semi shit, to terrashit in my book.

When it first came out, I experienced 100-170 MS of latency.
1 year later, I became stable at 190-210 MS of latency.
Now, I've become stable at 210-230 MS of latency.

The past week, I've been at 300-5000 latency, unable to raid because of the fiber optic fuck-fest which is our IMEWE cable.

Currently, this is what my latency looks like, constantly with a latency of 350 and effective latency of 400+.



This is merely my gaming experience with Ogero's Internet in the past 2-3 years. Any helpful ideas on how to improve it are greatly appretiated.

Rant off.
try leatrex, not sure of the spalling

What he said goes beyond the need to use leatrix. His problem is similar to everyone else. It's frustration that brought him to us. Sadly there's nothing more we can advise that you have not already tried.
Can I say it again? Oh well here it goes. Online gaming in Lebanon is not possible, period.

Though, the lag is game dependent. I recently played HON on my DSL internet (which is shitty as anybody else), but was able to play (well not LAN like, but i can call it playable). Perhaps Blizzard Entertainment should think of somekind of solution specialized for Lebanon ;P
It has been discussed way too much on this forum. Don't start a new thread. Feel like sharing? Use the Search function and post on an already existing subject :^)
