said by tschmidt:said by Anon5 : All ping/latencies normal. All speed tests are normal. Note this is fiber optic "FAST" and not FP DSL.
Great, now that things are working again capture another traceroute to use as a reference if service deteriorates.
How did you determine routing was through West coast? I would not place too much faith in server names if that is what you were using. However if we assume SJC2 is really San Jose CA could be the result of congestion elsewhere in the network. Remember, routing is dynamic so routers make packet by packet decisions as to how best to forward packets.

You didn't read. He asked me if everything was normal outside of the server I was trying to go on, I replied yes. Problem is still an issue hitting badrush.info.
Also as far as the routing goes, they have the abbreviation of the city as part of the hostmask name. Also I can lookup the IP address on the hops and find the location. of that IP.
Here is another tracert to badrush.info showing good routing, but right after Washington DC it shoots off to Los Angeles and San Jose:
