World of Warcraft Does Upload Speed Matter

2011-x-02,09:41 PM

Hey guys. I have a quick question. How much upload and download speed is needed to run wow perfectly with no lag etc.
I need to become Internet and I want to option the right plan.

Thank you

Anything under 100ms is fine. The lower the better. I highly doubt, unless you lot're sitting on blizz's servers, that yous'll get a CONSISTANT ~50ms or less. Or if you lot have some kinda T1 line or something. In which case, you seriously need to stop playing WoW and get back to work!

WoW volition never run perfectly and with no lag ever, even on a abiding 100ms connection.

I got very lilliputian lag on every bit footling as 165kbps download, and only small-scale lag on a 56kbps DSL connexion years agone. I tin can't imagine all that much is necessary.

Yeah, you don't need to go overboard to play WoW without lag most of the time.
And everyone volition experience lag at some point, that is totally out of their or their connection'due south control.

It also depends what y'all're doing, if you're simply interested in doing content casually (quests, five mans) you'd need fifty-fifty less than if you lot wanted to raid, for example. A hitch here or there doing a daily doesn't really matter.

When i send wow through my proxyserver, and but wow..

It used as fiddling as 11kb/s on top downloads and 6kb/south on acme uploads.

Aka, a 110k+ connection to raid/metropolis.

Slightly OT, simply I don't know anyone who plays the game with a consistent ping of higher than 50-60.

(Too a T1 line is 24 vocalization channels, 1.544mbit. Very impressive in 1992 but would get y'all laughed out the door if you tried to compare to to whatsoever modern consumer cyberspace connection!)

Picking a plan though. What should i get? What mb download speed and what upload speed? I demand information technology to be fast for raids.

I have a basic cablevision connection, and I get 30 MS constant to Magthierdon-The states. I think you're thinking of business course lines when you talk about T1, which really aren't all that expensive to get either. Latency depends a lot on your connexion and the distance to the server.

@op, what are your options?

It used equally little as 11kb/s on peak downloads and 6kb/due south on peak uploads.

Aka, a 110k+ connection to raid/urban center.

according to my LUI interface, i'one thousand getting a 7 Kb/southward downward/2 upwardly when doing firelands molten lords. this is without a proxy. maybe your proxy transfers some extra data? ---------- Post added 2011-10-03 at 12:09 AM ----------

i'm having 24 ms in orgrimmar and in most PvE content.

My all-time latency ever was back when I had 512 kbps ADSL. Now I have more lag with a 120 mbps optic fiber link. Your bandwidth isn't that important for your latency. It'south the routing, the number of hops, etc that counts.

2011-10-03,02:45 AM

It's been quite a while, simply I used to hear of people playing WoW on 56K dial-up, so I'd guess that anything that qualifies equally "Broadband" (if they however use that term) should be plenty.

2011-10-03,03:07 AM

This makes me cry, 200ms is considered good from Australia and 300-400 is average for most people

I normally have effectually 200-250 with a proxy.

2011-10-03,03:09 AM

Unless you lot're planning on doing 300 person raids, really, not all that much. Org or SW might chug on a bad connection, but across that, really shouldn't be much connection-related problems.

The OP needs to read this post instead of asking for bandwidth over and over.
You lot're highly unlikely to be constricted by your connection'south bandwidth, it'south the time in which it transfers packets to and fro that matters, non the amount of packets it can transport in a certain amount of fourth dimension.

I'thou going to call you out on this. ADSL lines tend to exist more crowded since ISPs similar to load as many people on them equally they can, especially if yous bought a lower connection speed. A 120 mbps fiber line would be considered a business class line and exist less crowded, and have less latency issues than a adsl line. If y'all were having more than latency on a 120 MBPS fiber line, you probably desire to contact your Internet service provider and come across if at that place was a problem with the setup.

If you're but raiding and doing basic tasks with your connection, you'd be fine with the basic Cable Internet/DSL packet. It really depends on what you use your internet for outside of wow for on how much download speed yous desire. I like to exercise a lot of bandwidth intensive tasks outside of wow and couldn't really imagine running with anything slower than what I have or with something with a bandwidth cap.

If you were having more latency on a 120 MBPS fiber line, you probably want to contact your Isp and see if there was a problem with the setup.

If you're only raiding and doing bones tasks with your connexion, you'd be fine with the bones Cablevision Internet/DSL package. Information technology actually depends on what you use your internet for outside of wow for on how much download speed you desire. I like to exercise a lot of bandwidth intensive tasks outside of wow and couldn't really imagine running with anything slower than what I have or with something with a bandwidth cap.

I _work_ for my Internet access provider, and unlike yous can tell you that what might exist true over there certainly isn't true everywhere. Not all companies have the same policies and not all technologies work the same manner. Maybe you are comparing ADSL to FTTH, I'm on a HFC way connexion. The divergence is minimal anyway and is not based on overcrowding (which will bear on not only latency but actual bandwidth too) only really on the routing.

The bandwidth has next to zero impact on your latency, saturation will not affect just lag, those are but popular misconceptions on how these technologies work. If, and this is just an hypothetical state of affairs, yous had the ADSL connected to the backbone through the same style of hops and CMTSs every bit a fiber connection, and the routing was handled the same manner, you'd get very similar latency values.

Even so, I can tell you that at least 3/4 of the biggest ISPs here in Portugal do not prioritize "business class" traffic over regular customer traffic. Off-white queueing is handled as transparently every bit possible.

I strongly advise that instead of me calling myself to check on my own connection, y'all instead investigate really what is latency and what tin can affect information technology. If that isn't enough, I tin can give you lot (for case) speedtest.cyberspace results of a 1 mbps adsl connection edging out a one gbps company line that is at ten% usage. Why? Only cause the routing is meliorate in the starting time case.

Could very well be. But to answer the OP's question:

Any western connexion tin handle wow fine without issues.

Higher download speed does not equal less latency.

2013-03-08,eleven:08 PM

Funny, I finally went back to work, For i year not playing wow. I'thousand looking for a Isp now for the same matter to go dorsum now that I'm settled. But I had Comcast broadband something like a 100 with a 12mb modem was fine but not sure what that meant haha.
