First thing I would do is ping 207.218.126.205 (3rd hop) & 206.132.110.129 (your 4th HOP) looks like a router that could be slowing you... Ping them more than once and get the average ping.
If it is still rotten like 800ms or worse take note of it and keep it fresh in your mind for your letter to your ISP...
Your next thing you should do is ping all those high latency routers at Verio.net... take note of your pings..(I think verio’s pvuo.pvu1.verio.net is your problem and it may take letter to verio.net from your ISP to resolve this)- case done in a nutshell
Exp: My route to verio.net’s is completely different than yours... In fact the first router to verio for me is a UU-net connection which is all ATM..
Note though, you have a 2 more hops on Verio's net than I do.(Why, ask verio WTF??) That adds to latency...(same network more travel time for you)
My latency to verio is normal but that doesn’t mean that your traffic to the router (pvuo.pvu1.verio.net) through verio is not over saturated causing all routes after to be mush...
If your using a local ISP you may get this resolved real easy but if you are using some slug ISP like att, aohell, or some other major service they may not have the time to adjust their routing table to stabilize your connection.
Be shure to list all of this information in your letter to your ISP, that way the have backup when they write verio.. If they wont help write Hightech creations as last resort to help resolve this.
Off Topic:
Also be sure your winbox is optimized for your connection Exp.. My is Win98 running a 48k connect with small packets and FIFO buffers are set to lowest setting. You will lose fewer packets by doing this.. FPS games (halflife, quake) this drops my ping by like 50-100ms.. In AH I have zero disco's and my beacon only flashed once and that was on a Sunday (Sundays are latency days for the net)
Basic network security: be sure not to include complete copies of your tracert on the web for this can used against you, it’s not science fiction.. Information is power and the less info people have about how you are routed the better..
Sorry about the extra babble but you should be aware of this..
