Note: If you installed WoW to a different location you should adjust the Program Path and Working Directory accordingly.

FreeCap should now look like this:



Launch WoW by double clicking on the icon. You can also drag the icon to your desktop or startmenu to launch it in future, for convienience.

We are after feedback on whether or not this improves your in game ping. Our testing internally shows that it should, so we are opening this up to Internode customers

Note: This is a temporary, experimental service and it may go down at any time as we tweak it. Simply reconnect if it does.

The server is currently located in Adelaide so those connecting from the east coast will not see as much of an improvement as those in Adelaide or WA. We are still interested in your feedback however and further tweaks down the track will improve pings for our east coast customers as well.

The performance boost this gives is also not final (we still have a bunch of things we want to try) but we thought our customers might enjoy it in its current state

When providing feedback please include:

Your ADSL connection type
Your Sync speed
Your location (SA, Vic, etc)
Average ping without using this service
Average ping using this service

When checking your ping wait for at least 10 mins before taking note of the value. (I.e. stay connected for 10 mins, then record your ping).

We are keen to hear both good and bad results using this as it helps us further narrow down exactly what is wrong.

Nice work matey!

Will give it a bash when I get home from work tonight

WoW.exe appears in processes at 50% cpu when I run the shortcut but it doesn't actually load the client. Anyone know workaround?

it might still be loading.

Hehe. Loading for 10 minutes?

nope u have a problem then


i havent seen that.

Your ADSL connection type - 1500k ADSL
Your Sync speed
Your location (SA, Vic, etc) - QLD
Average ping without using this service - 550ms
Average ping using this service - 460ms

Doesn't do much... 20ms off the original ping *goes back to lowerping*

Your ADSL connection type - ADSL 2+
Your Sync speed - 11000
Your location - SA
Average ping without using this service - 530
Average ping using this service - 440

When it is finalised, is there plans to move it to east coast? because SA would route via Sydney anyway wouldn't they?

Either way, Bloody pro guys, Awesome work. Mass WoW churns to node if it works imo

1.54 Mbps
Sync speed? Where do I check
Melbourne Heatherton Exchange
~500ms
~412ms

Thanks heaps internode, services like this are why I churned to internode in the first place Looking forward to giving it a try.

as a note, i've been using lowerping.com, the alternative which started all this, and there are a few issues with Freecap in vista, make sure you turn off all the special options in the "program" tab, as well as sometimes it may take 1 or 2 tries to actually start the program

Seems to be a few people, just from looking at google, that have the issue of wow showing in processes but not actually loading. This is under Vista. Not sure what other causes there are and haven't been able to find a solution!

NOTE: For Windows Vista 32-bit users, Freecap can work most the time by following the freecap setup under our Windows Xp guide, but in addition you must go to the programs tab and untick all boxes then click ok to save settings.
