Who knew these two internet companies claimed territory in World of Warcraft like the Horde and Alliance? I didn't until I moved to a new apartment and without realizing a difference b/w them, changed companies. Going from a nice 60-100ms to a now whopping 10,000-30,000ms I realize my mistake.

Alterac Mountains on CN1 is Telecom territory and is where everybody has gathered. To now play elsewhere seems a bit depriving. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there any way to fix it? I've tried a few things, ie. leatrix, 27net proxy but nothing worked well enough to make the game playable.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow so that's a company problem? Holy shit, what a bunch of suckers! Any way for you to switch back to the old one?

I suggest you better check ur isp , I have no problems on either one!
propably ur router or wifi is making trouble.
you can give wtfast atry but after checking with my it guy he doubt it's because you change provider !!

very strange for me I thought all phone and internet was only telecom, maybe they gave you 3g unicom

I originally thought it was my modem but i changed it and still had the same problem. My old server on CN2 is back to around 30ms which was ridiculously high before. Really strange. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've already paid a year's worth of internet here and i'm sure they won't refund the money. My gf suggested maybe get a Telecom connection here as well so then we'd have 2 lines.

How much money do i have to sink into this frigg'n game??

I suggest u try to google dsl speedtest china. There is a good page to test ur Internet speed to diffrent locations, in addition it gives u a feedback if ur provider is poor or good to that specific location.

Any updates Crom?

It not just you. i also had to leave cn1 with ping problems. I am useing greatwalll broadband. my trouble now is on cn3 if i stay pve i get 34 ping. when i do bgs my ping jumps to like 1000 to 3000. my friend said he fixed his problem by switching to usa client for cn wow. he said his cnwow client was unplayable.

27net

forum won't let me post URL, so google it

This proxy made my 3k unicom ping, go down to 70

its proxy specially made for wow.

They have a free service too, but a bit unstable.

Paid service is 27 RMB per month, you can buy their service off taobao, if you don't wanna use their website to buy

Get a chinese friend to guide you through

Just for info Crom got his problem fixed by using 27net. Apparently some servers are made for Telecom clients and others for Unicom, dunno why.

You can find a complete 27net guide here https://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/t1545-guide-how-to-install-recharge-your-27net-updated-4-7-2011

yea i am schmart!

It's not just world of warcraft servers that are specially made for specific networks. If you ever download something from a Chinese site, then you always seem to need to choose either China Telecom or Unicom as your download provider.

For some reason, China's Internet seems to be split into two separate entities which seem to connect at speeds similar to what you'd get trying to access a site in a far off location like Paraguay.

I think its a big conspiracy by the provider and the proxy sites (which are probably owned by relatives of the bosses of Telecom and Unicom). :-)

Maybe they don't want the customers from other providers to use their brandwidth so they throttle it intentionally to give the best performances to their customers, so many ppl in this country.

I say we start our own! And get insta-gibbed by both of them.

well unicom is not going last long any way. 6 months ago they fell to number 3 internet provider. and china net is loosing ground to greatwall because is cheapier of the 3. in shenzhen unicom so deperate the price getting very cheap. they lost so much ground here.

Thanks for your posts guys. I got my problem solved by using the 27net proxy. Ran into a few problems with it opening the encnlauncer but realized after an hour or so of frustration that i needed it set as administrator.

I am contemplating now to get two internet lines into this apartment, one unicom(which i've already paid a year's worth of internet) and telecom. I'm not the only one here who uses the internet so it might be worth it. It's gonna cost around ~300Rmb/year for the proxy or 5-600 for the extra internet line. With two internet lines I won't have to worry about lagging out in a raid while my gf downloads a movie.

oh you could kick your gf out or find new gf who just watch tv on the tube not a computer.

Haha, yeah but the new gf might come with other expensive habits like jewelery, brand name clothes or an insatiable hunger for Haagen Dazs. I'll stick with the internet.

If you can access your router settings you can set different download/upload debits for specific ip addresses within your network. But you need to setup static ip for your computers and hers first.

try googling "static ip for windows" if you wanna give it a shot.

This how it works in internet in china. Telecom own most the internet in the south of china 21 southern providence, And unicom own most of nothern part of china at 11 providences.
China Netcom and Unicom internet is same company the merged together in 2008.
