What is yahoo's server provider?

Best dedicated server provider for low ping times?

• We are setting up a gaming server for a very highly populated game server 400-800~ users, it is currently on a server but experiencing that a lot of international players are getting very high ping times and alot of packet loss. More than what it should be.. I was wondering if someone can point me to a dedicated server provider/datacenter/collocation that has a very good worldwide network map so that international users (primarily European and Australian users) would get better ping times. The server provider would need to be located in USA. Please let me know, I am not interesting much in the hardware specs or if they are a large company or not, i just need them to have an extremely good and solid network map to all major transits to reduce player ping times as much as possible. Thanks in advance
