Trace complete.

Looks fine from here.

I see you're in Vancouver? I just moved from Vancouver to Edmonton which is when I noticed the 100 ms increase in ping.

I sent a support request to the game company which is hosted on wowrack, but I'm not holding out much hope of improvement.

Mister M, looks like your path skipped anything east of the rockies. Seemed to drop from Vancouver right down to Washington state on Qwest while the rest of us hit Chicago first.

It is very unlikely they can do anything about this. The problem is with Telus.
