Can people using Time Warner Cable in Southern California try going to Command Prompt and doing "tracert 216.107.245.50", and seeing if you get similar results to mine?

I always get mini-lag spikes that make playing semi-difficult, and my computer specs are more than good to play Guild Wars, so I decided to do a tracert today. I'm planning to compile these tracerts and complaints, and send them to Anet to try to get this issue resolved.

I am SBC DSL, Generally with DSL, if your close to the RT or CO you get better pings with DSL then you do with cable. Only if your close. With cable, your sharing bandwidth with other users. My DSL is 6Mbit/768kbps.

Pings are as follows:

Your traces look pretty normal to me. I get much the same thing from Boise Idaho using CableOne.
