ISPs with routing from Northern Ireland to Dublin

So I can get 8ms ping to servers in Dublin on School Wi-Fi, while on BT/Sky/TalkTalk/Fibrus residential connections I get 23-28ms. Is it possible for the average consumer to get routing directly to Dublin instead of London? If so, what ISP and how?
 
Your already with an ISP that is only based in NI, so if they cant route you to Dublin then I don't think other ISP's can, most ISP's only peer with common areas, like London being the most common one.

I'm basically saying you cant just pick the route you want, only the ISP that has one in place can.

You can see which locations the ISP's you have in your area use by searching they name on https://www.peeringdb.com/

The ISP your with "Fibrus" has peering in London & Manchester

I'm asking if there is any ISP here in general that can have routing to Dublin instead of London for residential customers.

What are your options? Openreach and Fibrus?

might be for private use only? i dont see it.
What ISP do you think Schools here would use? Doing some research it seems to be BT but the IP adderss shows as C2K, which is probably just because of the proxy.

I also get 100Mbps down and upload way before FTTP was in the area at school. Would it be a leased line?

BT does have peering to Dublin but this does not show up on peeringdb, probably private use, not sure. you can try asking your ISP to peer with BT to that location but other then that, not much you can do.

can also use this link which lets you ping from any exchange that BT has, from Dublin to your IP for example.

It's not working on my Fibrus connection, maybe because It's CGNAT?
They show for me fine, perhaps your ISP is blocking it? Works fine on a Virgin Media HFC M250 connection. Also works on O2 - UK 4G+.
It's working on EE testing now. Not sure why it would be blocked.

It'll be virgin. All the bradford area schools/colleges/unis use Virgin but with the IPs from BLN - my guess is that that will be a countrywide thing.
