Whew...that is really bad!!!!!

I doubt you can do anything to get that one corrected. That is a little far up the network and most likely not the responsibility of RR. I could be wrong though. Sorry.

My route to that site goes through ATT Chicago just like yours, but then goes to San Jose and back to Washington. When all is said and done, my ping is 173 ms.

It appears from your trace that ATT peers privately with Above.net in Chicago over a DS3. Hard to imagine that this would begin to handle the traffic. It may be that something was down when you ran your trace. Please give it another shot.

Thanks,
