Side bonus is I noticed since using it my settings started saving without having to do the /camp or wait to time out thing.
You can use lowerping for free for 1/2 an hour. So you can test if it works before spending any coin. Even if you just use the free version now and again to save your settings it's probably a lot easier than the other methods.
If I had to guess I'd say the whole settings save thing is due to a low timeout setting that funcom has set. The better your ping the better chance you have of settings being saved. Also the less chat history you have the less data to be sent to them.
