Anyone know why?

Olympic hammering?

Can you post the actual ping? You posted a traceroute which is a different measurement....

Exactly, traceroutes are always slower than pings.

They shouldn't be, both being the same ICMP echo requests (on Windows, anyway) and all that. Case in point:

*nix is a bit different, but even if I do a traceroute off my router the difference when using UDP is negligible.

I always find it takes a big longer on the hops. I am usually doing it from a NIX of some sort, hardly ever windows.

Google.ca has multiple servers (maybe all of the 74.125.226.* block). Each time you ping 'www.google.ca', you're randomly connected to one. I've noticed that sometimes, some of them are noticeably more laggy than others. Perhaps try 74.125.226.88 or something else and see if you get better results.

OK here
