I'm currently with Demon Internet in the UK - 6MB ADSL.

My ping across a variety of servers in BF2142 and ET:QW is usually about 50-70ms.

I was looking at some gaming specific ADSL but I was wondering what experience people had? Can they guarantee lower latency - or - is it practically lower? I'm playing against people with pings of 15-20ms and I'd be interested to see what difference it makes if I can get a ping of 15-20ms!

I understand that network and locations of servers, clients, etc all play their part, so would it be worthwhile finding a good, low latency gaming provider?
