Need some advice from DSL users regarding WoW :)

Hi there, I have a little question for you DSL users

I play WoW (World of Warcraft) and have accounts on USA and EU servers, I get horrible lag on the USA servers (300+ms) and about ~100ms to EU servers.
I am on the BlueYonder 1mb plan at the moment. Basically, I want to get as much information as possible as to whether getting ADSL will improve the situation and get me better pings to the US WoW servers. I do some checking primarily using tracert as ping command does not work. If you can, please do a tracert for me and I will be really thankful

To run a tracert click on Start > RUN> type 'cmd' without the commas then in the black box type 'tracert us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com' without commas and copy it in a post here or just the last few lines so I can see what it is like once you hit the Blizzard firewall (the last point before it says request timed out).

Here is mine:

Tracing route to us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com [12.129.232.115]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 10 ms 8 ms 7 ms 10.171.128.1
2 8 ms 7 ms 8 ms gsr01-ca.blueyonder.co.uk [62.30.144.161]

17 * * * Request timed out.

Also, if you actually play the game and are on US servers..by any chance ( I know it is slim to none) please tell me what kind of latency you are getting thanks
