I'm a gamer and am looking for the isp with the best ping to the game im currently playing. If some of you would be so kind to ping an ip for me so I can see which would be the best without signing up to each one...

Cape Town 4meg line only please.

The ip is 87.255.38.140.

Mweb - 170ms (im dropping them, they have been too unstable, for too long)

Thanks!
 
hi fellow gamer 170 ms is the best you will get to europe and it gets worse to evreywhere else including us ping+-250ms asia ping +- 500ms .only in southern africa you would get sub 100 ms . i think the problem is the 5000 or so kilometres which changing isp's will do nothing to solve.again sub 100 ms pings are for your region only.
 
Jip leave mweb they are the worste isp. If you want to game use account like openweb or webafrica.

Ye, I assumed I wouldn't get any better, would be quite happy with the same thou. I have a account with nexus but get 250 ping. Just trying to find an isp would can match mwebs ping hence the query.

Will openweb or webafrica ping 170 to the ip in the opening post? Dont wanna sign up and find I get the same ping as nexus.

EDIT: My prob isnt the 180 ping, it is that my ping is spiking to 300+ consistantly... sometimes it is stable for a couple hours... but less and less these last 3 weeks. If I switch to my nexus account, I get 250, stable and consistant. I'm just looking for under 200, but stable.

easy way is just doing ping to bbc.co.uk

I saw an article on MyBB that Mweb is issuing Gamer accounts, I wonder when thats going to happen?
