Lowest gaming latency Openreach isp Manchester / Cheshire

Finally after years of being on virgin I can see the Openreach is installing fibre in my neighbourhood. with bidb saying their installation worksing starting from 24-26 of this month. I was curious as to what openreach ISP would be best for me just outside manchester exclusively to gaming servers of major games such as Warzone, CSGO, Fornite, Apex legends, World of Warcraft etc. I know the key locations for them are London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt.

Is there a way for me to check which isp would be best to choose for my given location to get the lowest latency or do I just go with anyone with the cheapest pricing model since they will all be on openreach. Also since I am in Manchester would the be any specific openreach ISP which would give me the strongest routing?

I still have a bit of time to decide judging by all the installation posts on thinkbroadband but I just wanted to do my research beforehand so that I can place the right order when the time comes.

So you gave up on London, and also the 0ms outside of london projects .........

Life and plans dont always work out how you want them. But what I can control is what ISP i choose!

I've always found BT routing/latency to be excellent, I get 14/15ms to London from Northern Ireland

I am getting 7ms pings from the Stockport area according to the f8lure.mouselike.org latency monitoring. i am with AAISP on a BTw backhaul.

I was seeing 9 or 10ms on my previous IDNET connection with ZenW backhaul for comparison.

nice - what are you pinging to bbc.co.uk , google.co.uk and amazon.co.uk?

Im respectively at 16, 13 and 26 with virgin currently from Knutsford.

Im trying to figure out how to run your test but am unfamiliar with it.

thanks mate. I am leaning towards BT but am intriguied by the services offered by the smaller ISPs who are on the openreach platform to see if they are better suited for my needs.

I can’t check until next weekend, but will let you know then.

Have a look at Aquiss. I'm with them, based around 15 miles north west of Manchester and on a good game on MW2 can ping at 9ms, typically hovers around 10-15ms. I was on VM until recently and a 'good' ping would be 30ms.

This looks like a winner so far! Would love to see those pings in games.
