2009-03-27 16:17:02 Your comment RE World of Warcraft Lat. being higher than the bit rate suggests could be related to WoW using a base P2P system, making it a target for some ISPs to cap your transfer speed at an absurdly low rate. I honestly have no idea if the ISP is doing this, or for that matter if WoW uses P2P for gameplay or just for patches, movies and the like. You can easily test this by downloading something large like Open Office directly from the distributor, and then comparing it to the download rate of the same thing through torrent. —MasonMurray
