Question Online games lag in bsnl

Hi,
Im from bangalore, using airtel broadband. I host a Counter strike server, and the other aritel users dont have any lags (ping < 150 ms) when they join from wherever in india.
They have a latency of 150 ms or less.
But when the bangalore bsnl users connect they have latency of 400ms or more. I just tried trace route and it goes to san franscico US before connecting to them. This is the one of the nodes from traceroute

7 4.78.196.21 so-4-0-1.edge1.LosAngeles1.Level3.net 1 1 297 ms 297 ms 297 ms 297 ms 0.000%

Doesnt this meant that the bsnl users connect to my aritel pc through the US server ? can this be avoided to reduce the latency ??
Does setting the dns server which is in bangalore for bsnl users help ??
If so can someone tell the dns servers of bsnl in bangalore ?

Thank you..

I have only one answer -

BSNL sucks for ONLINE gaming... Latency is always high!

P.S.- I was a CS player once.

For me its worse... I even get high ping on Google.com ... the average i get is around 380ms !! I am under BSNL's 256K speed broadband.. is the latency high because of this? Or is there anyway I can change some MTU details to lower ping? Does ping times depend on the DNS server used? I use openDNS's servers instead of BSNL's automatic DNS.
