Is it safe to use WTFast or Battle ping to reduce latency?

What latency? Get some high speed cable internet...

FFXIV has some issues where this doesn't help. I'v got 75kb down and 10kb upstream, and still sometimes the game just decides to start lagging like hell and disconnecting me. It usually continues for an hour or 2. Sometimes entering an instanced dungeon solves the problem, sometimes it occurs at the very moment i do this. Even when FFXIV is acting up, everything else works perfectly fine at the same time. And it is the only game where i ever had issues like this (apart from times when an MMOs servers were acting up and everyone was having these problems).

I'v been thinking to try Battleping or the like myself, since several people in my FC could solve these problems with it. But i guess i'll wait for 2.1, and if it still occurs then, i'll try it out as well.

That is low. Really, really, really low. Even by Australian standards which is pathetic enough already.

sorry, my mistake, it should be mbit, not kbit. I looked up the exact numbers on my ISPs website (because the get higher every year) and it says 75000/10000, but i didn't notice that the unit was kbit. So yeah, it's 75mbit down and 10mbit up.

Can we trade internets? I don't like being on 1MB ADSL ;_;

ps: at least i can dodge plumes LOL thank frick for that.
