I've attached 2 different runs of the program to this post. It seems there is one host where I have a bad connection to. The second run, I think someone may have been downloading or loading something near the very end because it jumped up.

Thanks for the requested data.

The steps with 100% packet loss are most likely nodes that are "no response" nodes and that does not indicate any issue.

Your average ping times look really as good as one could hope for here. Having said that, the second trace has high ping time spikes from your location onward but you seem to be aware of the cause of that.

The first trace has a few spikes from Prolexic onward and this is on our Prolexic/Akamai CDN. If power cycling your router does not give you an alternate routing through there then a call to your ISP may be in order. They will be able to assist you with flushing your DNS and other troubleshooting so that a different (internet) route is taken from you to us.
