Park Ridge(Chicago) traceroute 10hops to net??? WOW

When I first got WoW a few years ago it was only 3 hops to the internet, this past year ive noticed in a traceroute a minimum of 10 hops to the internet. And I see they are consulting/outsourcing to knology??? Tried looking into that company, their company objective mentions nothing about consulting or hosting services just education in the data shaping field..
To do a traceroute in windows hit start, type in: cmd ress enter.. So I typed in my instance: tracert uchicago.edu

11th HOP I FINALLY hit the public net?? Seems a bit excessive routing. Also seems to me that majority of the latency lays in wow/knologys routing.

Anyone else have this routing cluster f**k??
Anyone know anything about knology?
Anyone else knows when faster tiers are coming to wow??

11 ms at hop 3 (Knology).
13 ms at hop 10 (Knology).
14 ms at hop 11 (Level 3).
14 ms at hop 18 (destination).

How is that a problem? You would have to have a fiber Last Mile connection to get a very slight improvement.

I get six internal hops to the Internet, but at 10 ms more for 4 miles less distance covered (end-to-end, as the crow flies):
