What is the best ISP to use for gaming and what should my stats be (ping, etc.)?

I had Comcast 12mb/s, averaged about 7 down and 2.5 up, about 15 ping. Worked well, all things considered. Now I have Century Link 7mb/s. I get about 2-3 down and 0.7 up with 80-150 ping. It's definitely a noticable difference but most of the time it doesn't cause problems. Probably wouldn't call it smooth though. Don't know anything about packet loss or jitter.

comcast doesnt get along with WoW...idk if you play or not, just throwing it out there

Those are my stats to give you an idea of what Comcast offers. I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the service.

Everything else is crap compared to Verizon FIOS

If you can get it then get it, if you can't then don't use it anywhere because you wont be able to stand your connection from that point on

What are the ping, jitter, and packet loss limits in order for video games to run smoothly when playing online? And also, which ISP is generally the best for online gaming? Thanks.HOD4
