    Right I play quite a bit of pc cod4 online, and tbh pings are beginning to get to me...

    I am constantly between 70-100 no matter where I am playing. It seems I am getting routed through France almost all of the time, on imagine 2mb.

    I need to switch ISP soon, and I am simply wondering who has the lowest pings.

    In order, best first, worst last.
    1. Maybe Fibre from Digiweb/Smart or Magnet. (not very available),
    2. UPC Cable.
    3. Digiweb Metro
    4. LLU DSL
    5. bitstream so called NGB DSL
    6. Imagine Breeze
    7. Regular bitstream DSL.
    8. Imagine WiMax **
    9. 3G/HSPA **
    10. Imagine Ripwave or Imagine ex Clearwire **
    11. Satellite

    Lower speed package on DSL may have better (lower) ping. ADSL2+ exchange may be better than regular DSL.

    On DSL changing Bitstream provider will have negligible effect on latency.

    Rankings are approximate and may vary with your location. Items marked [**] are inherently not reliable.

    Are you on Imagine ex IBB Breeze Wireless or something else?

    Fairly sure I am on imagine DSL.

    Was on Clearwire for a while, that can stay bottom.
