Question Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute

I would find someone near you who is on BT and do a traceroute from their machines to a gaming server. That would give you the baseline of what to expect on BTw. BT aren't bad last I checked but certain LLU providers would be better.

No way of knowing without trying them out in your local area or speaking to someone who has.
In simple words, I either put up with the ping that I have, or take a gamble with orange ADSL with interleaving turned off?
