Its more than likely latency your experiencing. Your old ISP probably routed closer to your usuall game servers. Where are the servers your using? Best thing to do would be ping the ip of the server your using to verify.

Bad part is if it is routing there is not a lot than can be done its just network construction. You should also try using a local game server to see if that helps. The ping time to google is good but its only going to let you know if there is a generally high ping on the line which there isnt.

If you dont know the ip of the game servers your using connect the help section of the game and ask for the ip and a recommended server to use from there on in.

It could also be a router issue? Did you get one from them? Have you configged the router if so?

Make sure your router is using Open NAT. I know the Netgears UPC provided have the option to switch between Open and Strict. Xbox Live! needs an open one to function correctly. I don't know about the Cisco routers, should you have one of those.
