Would someone tell me whats good or normal on a tracert. Like in the following example, I was told the second hop should be 10 or less, yet no one around here gets that low. Was also told the 2 hop was my nic card. I don't think so, I think it is on CTL's network at that point. Set me straight, help me learn something. Thanks for any constructive info.

So, I see your early hops are very low. What causes our early hops to be so high? I could swear that it used to be lower. I'm about a 1500' from the remote. It's fiber fed back to the office. Plus people in town and the town over(we all feed back to the same office, fiber) are the same when I do a tracert from their computer. Our speeds offered here are 512 and 1.5
CTL just added more bandwidth from town to town and back to Ohio, that helped on slow speeds but the ping times never got much better. I'm not complaining, just trying to figure it out. |

That's some of it, but any info on my earlier hops. Like hop 2
Is that a local problem or even a problem at all in your eyes.

| In my opinion, hop 2 IS a problem. But, Ohio was the first state to be converted from Embarq to CenturyTel (CenturyLink) systems. So it is likely that if your routing goes through there, which eventually hits La Crosse, it will be affected until they get all the routes setup the way they want them while connecting Embarq's Network to CenturyTel's.
Have you tried different DNS servers just as a test by chance? It may help temporarily.
I did a tracert from my connection to Hop #2 on yours...

It's likely a traffic thing. They probably added all the Embarq customers to CenturyTel routers, and are in the process of re-configuring the Embarq routers...Embarq systems have not appeared on my network map yet, so it makes sense that the case is such. |

Well, for my area it seems to be. Hit and miss on the pings. Anywhere from 88 to 105. My concern is why the second hop is so slow compared to others i've seen around here.
