Im working from home and our central office is based in SYD. I have no problems with latency before with AU sites but for some reason I am getting high latency now..
here's sample trace result from home to pipenetworks (our AU ISP)
I am suprised below with line 7 (checked the IP lookup and it resolves to verizon) which is not i am getting before..

now I tried tracing another site telstra.com.au
if you check line 7 again.. it is different from my first trace... the line 7 resolves to telstraclear IP which is actually good as it routes to reach.com (SYD).

can anyone give some feedback or maybe try to do the same trace on pipenetworks.com and maybe you could get better latency?
