I’m an Internode customer and have been for many years. I don’t play WOW, and probably never will, but this is a prime example of why I’m a loyal ‘node customer. They see a problem with Australian internet, and they do what they can to fix it. A+ to Internode

Nice work Internode, great to see someone trying to sort out our lag issues, seeing as blizzard doesn’t seem interested. Living in WA i constantly get 550ms+ during the day and this is using iinet ADSL2+..

I could never understand why Blizzard didnt just put English speaking servers in Korea for us aussies.

Instantly my 530ping on an ADSL2 line located in WA would net a sub 100 instantly.

Our maintenace would be in the early AM instead of 9pm.

We would all play around the same timezone.

Blizz has shafted us for a long time.

Should be noted the gateway is currently down as we are moving it to Sydney.

Also we have not finished tweaking it, and ping times can still be improved.

We are in disscussion with Blizzard on how to fix the problem permanently too.

Hmm interesting. I'm live in WA, so lag was always a big problem for me when I played WoW.

I wonder how many copies of the game have to be sold here before they open a server on our soil.
