Here's mine, I'm in Vancouver on Telus as well. Looks like I'm one less hop than you though which causes 20ms more time.

Tracing route to 50.22.184.114-static.reverse.softlayer.com [50.22.184.114]

What's really messed up is that for some reason it's routed to Toronto on 204.225.244.101 (»www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?G···.244.101) and then New York on 198.32.176.207 (»www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?G···.176.207) and then goes from there to San Jose. The reason it goes to NY from TO is the right thing for SL to do though as that's probably the closest node to TO. I have no idea why Telus decides to send West Coast traffic through Toronto, it's mind boggling.

After reviewing it, the main reason for an extra 20ms appears to be this part where it's hitting different nodes for some reason:

I still think if Telus came around and manned up to joining SIX in Seattle, they could really improve their West Coast routing:

Small update to this issue, it looks like Telus has joined the SIX and we're currently peering with them there. The new path looks to be around 16ms instead of 70ms.

Yup.
