Heres the ping to the same server from my BT broadband connection, connection, router is a D-link G624t (running routertech firmware) and i'm on wireless from a macbook from osx
Its worth noting i have byte interleaving turned ON my line. Apparently you can request it be turned off to decrease ping.
