The top part of my post was omitted somehow without me being aware of it. 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.
