If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

DirecPath, they are the only option in many highrise condo buildings in atlanta.
Get a Verizon Wireless card/USB stick. Problem solved. You probably don't need a huge plan as WoW doesn't seem to do that much data xfer. Alternatively if you have a Verizon cell phone (droid) you can just tether it to your computer and get 'free' Internet. I did this while vacationing in the Outer Banks this year and it worked great. I kept NetCounter going as well and over 1.5 weeks of ~3 hours a day of play I only xfered ~800 megs of WoW data. So as I said above you can pick your plan accordingly and then just account for regular web traffic.

Get an android evo and use it as a hotspot.
Or just use PDANet to tether via USB. I did that for a month before Verizon got my FiOS installed.

I've heard that 4g has a problem with hiccups.
Hell, my wireless routers are prone to hiccups sometimes.
Anyone here game off of 4g?

Well gaming off my 3G (attached to my droid) it would from time to time tower hop and I would have to reconnect to WoW. The Verizon wireless USB modems don't have hiccups, at least anymore then any Internet would, as long as you can get a wireless signal.

DirecPath update.
DirecPath: Basically, WOW and other games use Torrents as a mechanism for updating maps, issuing patches and other traffic relating to general gameplay. Torrent traffic is classified as peer to peer, which has a lower cap and priority than game traffic. Eventually the Traffic Shaper gets an update that correctly classifies the new WOW traffic as game traffic. However, if Blizzard makes changes, then the signature is different and can once again be classified as P2P traffic.
This is compounded by the fact that the new Traffic Shaper is running an entirely new operating system with an entirely different way of applying QoS. *myname*, we are still working diligently with the manufacturer on coming up with an optimal configuration. We will keep you inform once this is completed.

Sounds like the guys at your ISP are too busy eating pizza and/or getting off to reruns of "Xena: Warrior Princess" to bother dealing with your WoW problems. Switch your ISP or go with one of the other options the above posters recommended.
