So if 2 people with 2 different isps are going thru the same hops (basically) and one is experiencing much higher latency then the other does that mean that its possible that those attw are deprioritizing traffic from certain sources and not others? Like lower priority from bellsouth and comcast but not lower priority from roadrunner? Obviously I've no clue about how networking works (or doesnt) but learning about WoW latency is my new WoW meta game.

I am always forgetting about the return path issue. Packets not only travel from you to the server, but also come back. The return path isn't always the same as the forward path. If you can find someone at WoW willing to run a trace route to you, and you compare his trace to you with your trace to the server, you may see a significant difference. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
