Wired or wireless connection to router? If wireless, maybe try wired.

Does anything else seem slow to respond? Ever watch Netflix or trailers online?

im using a linksys router and wireless connection. I've seem online clips and trailers with no problem, and my internet is still running fast. Its when i play WOW that the problem occurs. i log onto my guy and cant even play bc the connection is horrible. I've played wow on OSX and it ran great but i cant play it on windows for some reason.

Doesn't appear to be a connection problem then, something on Windows. And I don't know that this is the right forum for windows gaming help. But you never know.
