Skipping Lag, People Teleporting, 2-5 Second Delay, Fast-Forwarded

I'm getting desperate enough to consider using one of those, but do they violate the TOS in any way? I wouldn't if that's the case. As I understand them, they're just VPNs ensuring a straight(er) line to the game server with less chance for hiccups and screw ups in-between, but I'd still hesitate to use anything that touches the game in any way.

No, SE has noted they don't violate the TOS. I recommend Pingzapper to be honest. Battleping was very unprofessional like to me. It's still silly we have to pay $4-5 extra bucks a month for stability though.

If you do decide to give them a go, type Wagram in the referral page and you'll get a free extra 30 days after you sign up.
