talk about spoilt people… I have to play with 300ms ping from Pakistan, with lot of packet losses, microfreezes, disconnects and ping spikes to 999ms. I have still managed a decent wn7 of 1700+.

WOT is quite fine to play with on higher ping, but packet losses and disconnections during battle make it impossible to perform or enjoy the game.

instead of just bitch*ng on the forums, I’ve created a ticket to support if they will give me some compensation for the lost premium days, as this game is close to unplayable, here is the lovely reply:
My name is Antoine .. and I thank you for contacting us.

“Our team has been investigating the source of the issue and I’m afraid that we are not going to give any kind of compensation as we are not the causes of such instability. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience Commander and sincerely hope you will understand.

Feel free to contact us if you need anything else.

Kind regards,”

So in summary – we know there is a problem, we are ‘investigating’ it (for a week now) but fck you paying customer, you won’t get anything from us.. got to love this

There is a reason…

Pricing structures…

If you are paying for 2 physically remote connections (Munich and Amsterdam) you are probably paying more for a lower spec than paying at one location (2x Amsterdam) for a higher spec.

“economies of scale” for want of a better phrase…

I wouldn’t touch BT with a 100ft bargepole….

Offered me the new “Superfast”..

My current ISP gives me higher speeds, better line quality and more consistency, even though half of it goes thru the BT network…

My father-in-law has BT superfast dogs doo-dahs (he lives 500 metres away)… he’s always on the phone to the helpdesk complaining about speeds and dropouts

….and don’t mention BT sport… ever… :trollface:

I have 23-30 ping usually and i live in sweden and use telia vdsl connection. How ever I get lag and high ping these days like all other people, which is a fucking joke.

Great to hear it’s working for you, but some of us have gone from running smoothly with most settings maxed, to unable to play with all settings minimized.
Switching to “standard” and killing all visuals did nothing to change the stutter, lag and packet loss. It’s something on their end that’s doing this.

I can only dream of 12ms ping, it’ll always be 50+ ms even if there’s no problems due to distance. Wish they would add EU3 server in Sweden to cater nordic players.

Just btw…
I play on standard graphics, with only good quality textures, tree leaves, good view distance LOD, full AA etc…simply everything I dont need for gameplay reduced, even though I´m more of a casual player, I like smoothness before visual richness. I observed like 10FPS frop from max graphic settings but no special effects bothering me etc.
What my point is, I encounter no lags, no microfreezes next to no packet loss after I switched to standard graphics. I hope it might help some of you, who just like me prefer smooth playing instead of nice visuals.
If interested, I can post exact settings and by the way, my machine was bought when Xbox360 and PS3 released, only gfx upgraded. My specs are: core2duo 2,4ghz, 4gb 800MHz ram, Asus P5N32E-SLI MB, WD Caviar 750G HDD and NV GTX 460, nothing OC´d.
BTW average ping 10-20 FPS 50-90, wifi connection. EU2 sever set as default
