Recent Routing Issues with alter.net / high latency

Hello all,

I recently (not sure on exact time/date) started experiencing high pings / latency issues to certain sites, and when I do various traceroutes, the issue seems to lie with the 63.65.123.46 - teliasonera-gw.customer.alter.net link. 

Here is a example of a tracert:

I am in North Texas.

Let me know what else I can give you to help determine the root cause of the issue, or at least confirm there is nothing I can do from my side.

I already did all of the obvious stuff, reset router, PC, etc.. I am also still able to get my max throughput 75/35 is tests with SpeakEasy.net for example.

Thank you.

Hi @dslr595148,

Thanks for sharing, but I am unsure how this could help my situation. I am not trying to be rude, just not clear.

I am in a different location (North Texas), with a different connection type (FiOS), and am not sure what to do with the information you sent me. 

Do you have any specific suggestions on what I could try to get another route, or help get an official reply from Verizon on why there is such high latency with the alter.net link?

Thank you.
