The Problem
Been playing all of 16 days and I'm having some issues resulting in me dying 3 times so far loosing some decent ISK ( for a n00b ) in replacing what I've lost.
What usually happens is I'll enter an encounter and start attacking, sometimes my guns &/or equipment will take a while to come on. This doesn't get me killed however. What gets me killed is when I jump in start attacking and cause some damage. But that's all I cause, some damage, no hits beyond it are counted and I end up trying to warp out ( realising that I'm having issues talking to Eve's servers ) to a station or bookmark which happens only after I'm to be found in my pod. It's been as bad as getting Eve mail telling me my insurance hads paid up while I'm warping to station, and dropping the window watching as my ship changes to a pod before me in mid warp. The responses times are 1 or 2 seconds / 1000m/s+ response while I'm still only getting tracert of 320m/s - 350m/s.
Actions Taken
I'm with the local ISP iHug.co.nz and tracert to Eve and noticed two nasty drops in responses. By the time I've reached Eve I'm at 320m/s to 360m/s, which is of course very, very painful.
asianetcom.net who is iHug's upstream provider loosing 120m/s to 150m/s for me and from San Jose to London ( unnamed routers to eve ) another 120m/s to 150m/s
I've talked to others here in NZ who are playing Eve and while they are getting some ping around 300m/s they aren't completely getting messed up and are playing fine.
I've contacted my ISP and they have mentioned while they're aware of similar problems they cant guarantee they will look at it. However they suggested if I could compile a list of tracert's ( from any New Zealand ISP's ) proving that their upstream provider was causing some issues I may be able to get something resolved.
I have so far a list of about 5 including myself, with no real proof the ping is anything to do with my ISP or their upstream provider exclusivily.
Question
I'm aware that getting the routing changed could be next to impossible but I'm wondering if there's any methods I could use to get back under 180m/s ?
Thanks for all useful replies.

Wither its IHUG or any other ISP in NZ, they all go through Telescum NZ eventually, unless they have thier own link out of NZ like Telstra/Clear Does (and they are worse)
Telecom has been absolutly sheetless since they were told to unbundle. There connections for outside NZ are total crap.
Nothing we can do about except pay the outragous prices for shoddy service.
I feel your pain.

Move to Australia.
Failing that, what speed internet connection do you have?

Australia won't be any better. I was with TelstraClear/Saturn cable for a year in Christchurch and I was lucky enough to not have any noticeable lag.

3.5Mbits Down, 512KBits Up (but never get over about 180kbits)
If you stay in NZ its great...But
The minute the data hits NZGATE - NZ Gateway to the Southern Cross it gets 'prioritized' depending on how important you are to Telecom NZ, if your not, expect 300+ latentcy added. Telecom NZ also dosen't like Skye or any other VOIP app that will not let them charge outragous prices.
People have been biatching and yelling about it for years, now that the goverment is finally stepping in with regulation, Telecom NZ is throwing a hissy fit and all have to suffer for it. (Thier stock dropped 2 Billion $ in one day when the Gov't annouced regulation was immenient)
There is nothing, at the moment you can do about it.

Wow guys....and I thought rural Scotland had poor service!
Maybe we should all club together and get an EvE dedicated satellite broadband link?

NZ player here, having exactly the same problem. I tried to run a level 3 mission a few weeks ago - a really simple one, and I lost 5 sets of heavy drones to 5 crashes, and nearly lost my apoc twice running into structure because my armour repper wasnt on when The Lag started. Lags out for a minute and there goes all my armour...
Ive cleaned my cache and everything and it seems to be running better, but im still going into asteroid belts and PvP ops and having my game go all non-responsive on me for minutes at a time. Every now and again. And im on a 3.5mbps/512kb connection, which isnt the problem. Its clearly on the ISP's end and im honestly considering dropping EVE for something that dosnt **** me off on a daily basis.
