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.

PING 213.248.242.79 (213.248.242.79) 56(84) bytes of data.

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

All things fall of the cliff at dc1nombgprp01-linx.nominet.org.uk (195.66.224.61)
Does no ping at all count as <1ms?
Because the IP is not responding at all.
I can't ping either.
Sorry, updated my post.

Here is our network in London:
and
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.

@Jack_SBE
Scaleblade has peering direct peering with LINX and in Telehouse West
Thanks for the above.
We're currently testing with Scaleblade, just to see how it compares with other options.
Here are our current results:
So far, it's looking very consistent, and routing directly via LINX to Nominet.
