Hello guys,
I need help with my broadband connection and hopefully someone can take their time to analyse my ping traceroute. Below is some information:-
I'm a competitive console gamer and compete in a game where broadband connection seriously matters. I understand that ping is really important for gaming and I am desperate to try and improve upon my current ping/latency, I need to reach closer to 10 if possible.
Virgin 30MB Broadband Only Package
Average results for testing from
www.speedtest.net and
www.pingtest.net:-
(Ignore ping result above, I guess it's a problem with the server)

(all tests and traceroutes are with an ethernet cable direct from super hub router to my computer and without any other PC's etc. on in the house).
Below is my traceroute to this website:-

I'm also thinking about getting virgin to turn off 'interleave' as i've researched that this is undesired for gamers and can improve my ping slightly.
Thanks for reading guys, and I hope someone can help me improve my ping, if any further details are required, please post below
