Is there any possible way to change your routing, or ask too get it changed?
Over the last 2 months i've been routed different from my location (Swansea).
Which has lead to me gaining between 5-8 addtional ms, which quite frankly i do not wan't.
Before my routing path to some servers would be:
Swansea > Guildford > Wind(windsor?) > Poplar > Telehouse. Which lead to me having ~12ms to gaming servers.
Now my connection ONLY uses the following:
Swansea > Birmingham > Manchester > Northampton > poplar > Telehouse..
Why on earth does it go half way around the country?
Example
1 9 ms 7 ms 7 ms myip.cable.virginmedia.com [82.

2 11 ms 11 ms 11 ms swan-core-1a-ge-300-2482.network.virginmedia.net

10 23 ms 23 ms 25 ms 193.33.187.133
Before my routing before was Guilford > windsor > Poplar, Which resulted in 12-14ms final stop.
From the 1st of March (this is when the routing changed)
This is current
Maybe im being picky, maybe it's my ocd, but making my connection worse is quite annoying.
