Im 3hrs from ending my service with Verizon.

I have an open ticket going back 2 months and some about being constantly dropped from any game without warning.  Be it FIFA, WOW, Diablo, Battlefield 3.  All of them just random dc without any reason.  Verizons speed test tells me I am getting packets out of order and why they don't know.  Well after many weeks off issues I decided last night to start pinging ip's across my network to google.com one at a time and I found my issue. And I can now clearly show the issue.

There we have the problem.  130.81.199.0

What might this be?

Verizons gateway server to the internet?
