Thread: Please recommend a provider for online gaming

Hi,

I have BSNL UL750 plan at the moment and its just garbage for online games. My average pings are at 12000ms to EU servers (in World of Warcraft). I cant even connect to the server sometimes or it kicks me out. I have asked the BSNL guys to check my connection over and over again and i get the "your line is perfectly fine, now go and sit in a corner" kinda of replies.

I will be very glad if the pings are anywhere within 1000ms, i can just bite my teeth and play. Some people are complaining about getting 200-300ms ping and i only wonder what if i get those pings? I will be so happy even if i get 500ms ping.

I have now decided to change BSNL right away. I would like to know your opinions on the providers who have good routing and can ping EU/US servers in the shortest time possible. If anyone here plays world of warcraft, what isp are you guys using?

Right now, i have only looked at Airtel's 1399 plan. FUP is really not a concern as i doubt if i'd even reach 15gb a month. How good is airtel for gaming? And i dont know how isp's here work but can i just get the broadband line from airtel and not the landline?

So please guys, recommend a good connection. Shall i just go ahead with airtel?

EDIT: Some info,
I stay at BTM Layout 2nd Stage, Bangalore.
I connect my modem to my PC using ethernet.

I used to stay at the same address as yours.

Played Counter Strike with the Airtel connection on the Indian servers though. It worked fine. However, no idea about WoW performance on the European servers.

P.S.: You may have got a solution by now as this thread was started long time back. Would love to know about it.
