This has been bothering me for some time now since I play online in the afternoons a lot. I haven't got anything concrete from tracerts to a certain WoW server 80.239.149.47 which is the Nordrassil realm, apart from the occasional packet loss or high ping at the 2nd/3rd hop from time to time. In-game, I'm at around 400-600ms and sometimes get spikes for 2-3 secs and can't do anything.
This always disappears near to 5 or 6pm and is smooth all evening/night after that. Any reason for this?
I have the same thing and this is my 3rd ISP in the last few years, personally I blame Telia routing - all other services running smooth but as soon as you jump onto a WoW server it looks a different story.
I think you're right Desaan, though I'm no games player. Just ran a tracert on that server and it times out after entering the Telia network. :(

That's just the wow server which doesn't respond to pings, always been like that ever since WoW was launched afaik.
Told you I was no games player. :)
Most ISP's have problems with WoW. Some people search for one that will get good pings, but, as far as im aware, most ISP's are routed through telia :(
