if you're playing an mmorpg, the number of players connected to a server is also a factor. try playing on servers that have smaller amounts of players.

I have a few neighbors with RoadRunner and I observed that this a lot slower than my ATT DSL. I sometimes help them out with PC problems. You should test your line speed. Try this or ask Roadrunner for their tool:
