Good point also.
Currently I am not affected, but to to see where the loss is occurring at the time I suppose I'd need to check at that time; however, this seems to affect everything so it has to be something (early hop in the chain)..

It appears from the traceroutes above they roughly follow the same route except Verizon doesn't go directly to LEVEL3 but ALTER.NET first. Will need to do this at night sometime when the problem starts happening.
