said by frontier0:Thank you for contacting Frontier FiOS Technical Support. After looking over
your trace route info I know what the cause of your issue. We are experiencing
a surplus of users in the Beaverton area, which is where your ping jumps, which
is causing our customers to experience slow down at peak hours. We are working
on up-grading this area to fix this problem. We understand how frustrating this
sort of issue is and we are investing time and money into upgrading our
infrastructure. We have a solution slated for install in the next two weeks.
