Variance just indicates how well your computer is responding the game.  If it is flat and you are getting discoed, that would normally mean it is not game related, but Internet/network related.

Judging from your traceroute, it appears to be a problem in the first three hops which would be your ISP's network.

I'll ask my wife if she can give me the budget to have optical fiber between my house and HTC servers :)

Note, that it won't change anything as I'm still not having enough time to play :(

That does not surprise me.  The nature of the Internet.  It is not a static beast.
