Needless to say I have been using Hughesnet since 2011 and have been playing wow (world of warcraft) with the expected latency on both gen 4 and gen 5 after upgrade. The latency was playable and between 400ms-1200ms depending on the time of day. But last year I had to suspend playing this game because I thought it was the game as they released a new update. However, after contacting blizzard tech support and giving them my winMTR results I was told by the tech that it was a hughesnet problem and my first post is part of his reply to my request for help.
Level3 is a known problem. It's a serious bottleneck. Basically, anything owned by Qwest has been having trouble with WoW players. Lucky for me, almost everything goes through a Quest server on my route, so I experience monsterous latency. So WoW playing is nearly impossible.
The only solution is for HughesNet to route around the problem servers, though after talking with a very high up person, that is a major undertaking.
Qwest won't help unless you are their customer.
Could you post your original post in full? (You said some of it was cut off) That might help.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Actually, I had typed an introduction to what I was posting to explain why I was posting it instead of just tossing the image out there and that part got cut off. I would have preferred being able to screen shot the post but could not find a way to get the entire text so I had copied and paste it
I went back to blizzard tech support and recopied the original support ticket response just in case I omitted any technical info:
