Default WoW Slow

I have been trying to play World of Warcraft now for a few hours, and everytime I do I immidatly get sucked into unending lag. My latency bar goes red and thats it I can't do anything. At first I thought it was me just being in Ironforge, so I got out after reconnecting 3 times. But still my lag is red. Im running on Comcast Cable, and I tested the speed and I got 754Kbps Down and 359Kbps Up. Now thats slower than usual, but thats more than fast enough to be playing at a decent speed on WoW. I am playing on a Belkin Wireless Router. Could there be crap on my computer causeing things to run slow? Cause it seems like my other computers connected directly to the router never have problems. It almost seems like my wireless connection has completely slowed down my internet. Ever since I started using it, it seems like my internet has never been as fast as it used to be. ITs 802.11G and most of the time runs at 54Mbps with a stong connection. But im stumped, Any help is appriciated.

It must be the WOW servers. I was having some trouble today as well.

Try running a spyware check with Spysweeper. A little bit of adware can make WoW unplayble for me, you might be having the same problem.

Plenty of people are in the same boat as you, I wouldn't worry so much about your own setup. Blizz have stated that they have issues with the game servers located in the Paris data center which hosts many of the UK realms.

Take a look at the wow general forums, you'll see posts about the lag issues plastered all over them. Blizz have been pretty open about the whole issue to be honest.

I think there has been some problems on the servers as of late. I have been having some problems too were things have been a little laggy of late.
