Just a completely random test this evening:
I can run the same test early tomorrow AM, and it will be at my full d/s speed (7.5 Mbps)
The question is, which other ISPs are better?

BazNZ: Latency is the problem for me when gaming on International Servers. I'm getting the stop/start bandwidth bursts which most gamers would realise is impossible to play with. I'm not seeing on my monitor what is actually happening in real time. I'm missing shots and getting killed in game because of it. I know what speeds I should be getting and I'm not. To Chicago I should consistently get 3000-3200kbs Download and 400 - 450kbs upload with a ping between 203 - 210. I had this for years without any problems whatsoever with multiple Modems/Routers used so I know it's not my current Orcon Home Hub. It's gotta be Orcon's service? I've had this problem since April/May this year with mixed results in the past couple of months up and down. I'm in Hamilton and on Orcon's ADSL1 Purple Plan MAX/MAX. I'm currently not getting what I'm paying for. Last month with Home Phone/Tolls/Broadband etc.. etc.. my bill was $160 now if these terrible speeds and latency continue I'm better of paying Telecom or Vodafone $90 a month for the same Service and plan and save myself some dosh.
