The only thing you can really control is your own usage and make sure your software is up to date to fix bugs. These types of network events are usually transient, and simply resolve themselves. The internet is dynamic, and you could possibly end up with a bad path from your computer to the WoW datacenter. Latency can also be affected by other factors than just your internet usage. So yes, the internet connection will be fine for WoW IF you make sure you aren’t using a bunch of other network services while you are playing. This will cause lag to occur as the game does not have real time data to redraw the game world with. If you out of bandwidth your latency will suffer because packets are being dropped and have to be resent. Latency is the time it takes for a packet to travel round trip from your computer to the WoW game server in Chicago or wherever your region’s servers are and back. Latency is the other very important measure of network health. Now, what’s important for games is that you have enough bandwidth overall so that World of Warcraft and your other internet services don’t saturate your connection and cause network congestion which will increase your latency. That gives you 900k+ bits to do other things with like run discord and watch cat videos. WoW typically measures bandwidth in Kbps which is 1000s of bits per second. So if you have 10/Mbps you can have up to 10 million bits per second travelling from Cox to your router.
bandwidth is the maximum amount of data you can ingress from your ISP.
