Here's the thing though. The reason why I stated it couldn't be going to France was due to the fact that with the way Verizon sends things, it seems you have to tack on at least 10ms for a round trip just to New York. From there, transit tends to be around 80ms from France in back. When you go: Connection > NYC > Peer > France > New York and back in a round trip you've got something that would easily hit 160+ms. Unless it's "turning around" somewhere in the middle of the ocean?
Anyways, here's the pings to the two servers you asked for. New York server is first followed by the server in France.

That's the fastest route I can get to there. But hopefully things are well in Verizon land tonight. I won't be able to check at home until late tonight off peak hours.
