In general, your influence goes as far as your directly connected neighbors.
You will probably want to start with prepending or using communities so
carrier1/carrier2 and possibly transit1 prefer to use transit2 and see if
you can decrease latency that way.

If your game servers are important enough, that is they generate revenue,
perhaps you should look into switching to an ISP that peers with DSL/Cable
providers.
