Best ISP for Latency?

Depends to where, Web Africa and MWEB have the best from my experience.
 
What Blunt says.
Also depends where you are.

Mweb has in my experience, and I've used all the providers recently (except for SAIX) the best national latency. WA has crappy latency if you're in ~Durban or ~Pretoria because of the location of their IPC (Cape Town).
International latency is the best with WebAfrica, but I've had issues with them with gaming.
 
For me on 011 462 **** exchange

Local Int UK US
Mweb: ~15 ms ~193ms ~369ms
Openweb (IS) ~8ms ~179ms ~355ms
WA: ~33ms ~180ms ~356ms
 
If you're talking latency when it comes to games I get about 200ms to the europe MMO's with mweb home uncapped. A ping doesnt really reflect latency properly since it bypasses any form of shaping (You can get a 200ms ping to a game server but have a 500ms latency)
