Reducing regional lag?

Here's the situation. I'm in the US and I've been playing a certain game that's based in Europe... and of course, a bit of lag results. And I'd very much appreciate anything to reduce said lag.

I'm assuming there's no way, since it's a byproduct of connection latency and all, but just in case...

The Atlantic backbone always adds about 60~100ms to you ping time, there's nothing you can do about it really. For games like Maplestory it's not -THAT- important (except for looting -.-), but when you're looking at the FPS scene, any ping above 20ms is just terrible...

God, I remember the time when we had to play some USA team for some cup-leage in quake3... ping 160...

can you do a speedtest.net and post your results? Use the recommended location is fine. Just to see where your net at. If you want, do one with the recommended and then do one located in Europe.

Well your internet is fine to me, not the fastest but fine.

I don't know if this would work, what if you find a proxy server in London, then connect to the proxy server. Maybe it will change the servers you go though to connect to the game server and decrease your latency.
