Oddly enough, I am squarely with the "cousins" on this one
culero (it suxxors from south Texas, too)
PS - evidence, my MA connection path:

Why the HELL does it make sense to route me through friggin' LOS ANGELES KALIFORNICA when I live due south of HTC in TEXAS?
Oh well, I suppose maybe this is better than it was before, when I got routed through Atlanta and Washington DC before coming back to Dallas :/
Well, except for that router at hop #10 that's dropping so many packets.
What doesn't make sense is this:

As is obvious, this is a MUCH better connection....why is this routing given to my connection to beta.hitechcreations.com but not to my friggin' arena connection?
The Brits are right, Savvis blows.
