Good advice from Chickendippers, without some tests it's extremely hard to know what the problem is.
There are so many things that can affect online play, and many (most) of them are out of the hands of the ISP
IIRC as an example at one point EU Ultima Online players from some areas were being routed by EA's host to New York, and then back to London
Programmes running on your own PC*, how good the host of your chosen server is (and how heavily loaded it is), the ingame connection settings, and the actual location of the servers (IE London or NY) - there are even odd cases were a server at one end simply doesn't like your choice of network card or router (WoW and some linksys routers running a particular range of firmwares had some really funny affects).
*Torrents for example
