UK VPS w/ less than 1 ping to specific IP

Looking for UK VPS with <1ms TCP latency to 213.248.242.79 (Nominet EPP server)

I'm looking for a UK VPS provider with extremely low latency (sub-1ms if possible) to 213.248.242.79, which is the IP for Nominet's EPP registration server.

Since ICMP (ping) is blocked, please test using MTR or TCP traceroute on port 700:

sudo apt install mtr
sudo mtr -4 -T -P 700 epp.nominet.org.uk
or with traceroute:

traceroute -T -p 700 213.248.242.79

Bonus if you're peered at LINX or located in Telehouse North / Equinix LD8.

Specs don't matter, this is for low-latency EPP usage only.

    Mda, I'm out, I guess this is a no go? :D :D

    Does no ping at all count as <1ms?
    Because the IP is not responding at all.

    I can't ping either.

    ukservers.com are peered at LONAP and LINX and also provide servers in Telehouse, although I believe they are in Telehouse East rather than North. There are a few LET providers who use the UKServers hardware and network to run VPS nodes so could be worth searching for them.

    So far, it's looking very consistent, and routing directly via LINX to Nominet.
