LOL!  As our New Zealand Telecom's Provider/Internet Provider has done. 
  A little background - in New Zealand we have one company really - 
Telecom.  They provide the Internet and the telephone services.  A 
couple of weeks ago they added 30ms of latency to all connections and no 
one batted an eyelid.

While playing counterstrike on foreign servers (Australia mainly) I 
regularly get jitter of 300-400ms (i.e. the game starts at 120ms ping 
and at times rises above 500ms).

Here the regulatory power is called the commerce commission.  They were 
about to release a finding that Telecom (which was originally state 
owned) had to unbundle their lines.  However, about one or two weeks 
before the finding was released, they changed their mind.  Much to the 
detriment of New Zealand internet...

So, once again, the big boys get to keep their toys, while we can but 
beg for quality service...
