| Re: High ping times to sprintlink.netUnited... wow that's a flash back.
FYI... Embarq is the union of Sprint Local, United Telephone and Centel. IIRC, Sprint Local became Sprint United when they took over United's service area. When they absorbed Centel, it became just "Sprint" for marketing purposes.
Now back to your original issue. Looks like the evening rush hour is over. Ping times are back to normal. I've seen it happening during most peak periods lately.
2 8 ms 9 ms 8 ms nc-76-0-144-1.dhcp.embarqhsd.net [76.0.144.1]
3 8 ms 8 ms 8 ms crncrcmt04 [69.69.52.214]
4 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms sl-gw19-rly-4-3.sprintlink.net [160.81.74.177]
5 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms sl-bb23-rly-3-1.sprintlink.net [144.232.14.41]
Until Embarq adds either more backbone bandwidth from Sprint or adds another major peer to the internet, I don't see it getting better.
PS... I'm on the 5mbps package on a AFC remote. So I'm on FastPath. My numbers will be lower than your interleaved circuit by default. But your first hops are as expected on an interleave connection.
