Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Some of that is due to location (i.e. San Jose to San Jose trace to yahoo.com)

L.A. to San Jose is a little farther

Yeah, but how far are you from your DSLAM? It is the latency to the gateway router which is what I am looking at. My DSLAM is 9,156 out. I'd be curious to see the latency on a DSL line at 15,000 feet; especially if they were on the Fast data path.
