Re: Why my internet sucks?
OK, suppose I was mistaken.. I get 73.4.4.1 as a Chicago server too but its obviously not because I'm in Chicago and get 31ms. Your 1st hop is what a normal 1st hop should be so be happy with that.

Try using alternate DNS servers such as 4.2.2.6, 4.2.2.2 or (which some do not trust their credibility) the open DNS offerings.
Either way you choose, there are good instructions on how to make these changes at the OpenDNS site:

Y.M.M.V., just something else to eliminate as a cause of your issue... |

said by ozi :okay well i googled the dns flushed and figured out how to do it... but I havent noticed any difference still the same tracerts everywhere and same problems.. Any changes made to one's DNS servers will have no affect on the routing paths seen in your traces... |

What flushing your DNS cache does is to force your local DNS resolver to go back to the DNS server to resolve IP addresses.
In your post with the trace route, and the "40ms to Dallas" comment, I keyed on the name of your first hop, "m0015963df91d.chcg.il.comcast.net [73.4.4.1]", and mistakenly placed you in Chicago. My own trace route back toward your first hop shows no name on that router:
That should have changed for you after you flushed your cache. The latency, or routing would not change, though.
