Random high latency - not sure what the Tracert describes.

For some reason, my ping to virtually every website has increased significantly for seemingly no reason.

I did a tracert, and this is what came back:

1 6 ms 9 ms 7 ms 192.168.0.1
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 235 ms 129 ms 149 ms 173-219-225-245.suddenlink.net [173.219.225.
4 217 ms 216 ms 198 ms 173-219-241-242.suddenlink.net [173.219.241.
5 215 ms 144 ms 220 ms 72.14.220.62
6 236 ms 200 ms 248 ms 209.85.244.162
7 202 ms 175 ms 157 ms 209.85.246.213
8 232 ms 214 ms 194 ms dfw06s47-in-f14.1e100.net [216.58.218.206]

Is there anyway to determine where I'm going at the 2nd hop that's causing it to time out? I imagine that's why I'm getting such high latency to my ISP (Suddenlink).

Thank you.

It just means that device is configured to not provide responses to the packets used by tracert. A issue would be if it caused loss in hops past that point.

Problem is your issue could start in hop 2 and it does not tell you about it or it starts in hop3.

Generally this is a overloaded connection in the ISP network, it could have switched to a backup path which is now overloaded or it could be a they do not have capacity.

The best case would be if there is a actual issue with hop2 since that represents the connection from your house to the ISP which you should be able to get fixed.....assuming you are not just exceeding the bandwidth you buy.

Your first hop has a ridiculously high ping. I assume you're using wireless. Have you tried not using wireless to see if the issue goes away? Seems about 80% of issues are wireless related, it's just a bad idea.
