    Lowest Latency ISP for Gaming?

    I game on European servers (Aion) and have been experimenting with various ISPs - Afrihost isn't great sitting at 300-600ms ping on average and peaks at around 1200ms, and Screamer is just the most awfully slow connection ever averaging at 600-1200ms with peaks at 3400ms. Anyone else getting...
