Best pings for gaming...

[drukkie]

Anyone knows who has the best pings to UK and US?
I bought an afrihost unshaped 1gb and the pings were the same as my mweb uncapped shaped 500ms and 700ms...

don't wanna waste more bucks....
Who's got the "fastest internet"? sub 300 if possible...

thanks!

WA has (or had) awesome pings to the states when I had a trial account with them.

prolly not the wisest, but my TI 1 gigger gives between 350 to 377ms to the states after hours. any shaped SAIX i guess, then again, you're paying like 4 times more

No. Pings will be about 100 + whatever latency is to the US from there. Wireless 3G/HSDPA/HSPA/HSPA+ etc all have initial/local pings of at least like 80-120ms. Only hope for gaming and wireless mobile is to wait for LTE at this stage
