High Latency - Shaw ISP - Canada - 9/9/15(1)Category: Technical SupportSeptember-9-2015 2:56 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hey folks,

We've been seeing some high latency reports from Shaw cable users located in Canada. I'm not entirely sure what might be causing this since I've only seen a few examples, but I'd like to gather some additional data from the players experiencing this issue, so that I can have this investigated further. That being said, please provide the following information at your earliest convenience:

-Name of your Internet Service Provider
-City and State that you connect from
-Is your connection wired or wireless?
-Time of day you experience the increased latency


Download WinMTR. This tool will run a different style of pathping which will hopefully give us a little bit more information about what might be going on with the connection.

1. Download WinMTR
2. Download the 32 or 64 bit version, depending on your version of Windows.
3. Run the WinMTR.exe
4. Type the IP address you want to trace in the "Host" field. You can find the needed IP address in our "Running A Pathping Test" support article, which mentions all of our IPs used for troubleshooting purposes.
5. Click on "Start" and then launch the game. Once you notice the connection issue, play for about 10 more minutes, minimize the game and click on "Stop".
6. Click on "Copy text to clipboard" and paste the results into your next forum reply.

***Please be sure to run a WinMTR for each IP address listed for your game and region. ***


Let's also run an MTR report through our Looking Glass site to see what that shows us.

Once at the Looking Glass site, follow the steps provided below:

1. Select the region you play in and the service you are having issues with. (If you select "World of Warcraft" as a service, you are going to want to select the realm that you're experiencing issues on)
2. Check the "MTR" box and uncheck the "Traceroute" and "Ping" boxes.
3. Click on the "Run Test" button.
4. When the test is done, click on the "Copy Result to Clipboard" button, and paste the results into your next reply.

***Remember that to receive the most accurate results, you are going to want to run this test when the connection issue is at it's worst.***

Update - 9/10/15

Hey folks,

I've noticed that some of you are only posting some of the requested information. In order to be able to have this looked into, we need to have all of the requested info from each user. The reason for this is that the first WinMTR shows us the path the connection takes when going from your home network to our game servers, and the MTR provided on our Looking Glass site shows us the path the connection takes when going from our servers back to your home network. If you only post one of them, then we are only able to see half of the connection's entire path, which limits us in seeing where an issue might be occurring.
