Geez.. my connection is crawling..

[Imported]

Seems for the past 3 days, my RR has been going crazy. I'm getting constant pings of close to 900, and it's just so slow. RR reports there's a problem in Los Angelos when I called them, but I'm about 350 miles north of there (I'm in the Stockton,CA area),so I checked my ping to a Q2 server in Texas, to here, and about 5 other IP addresses with VisualRoute and I get a constant 1-10ms in my area(first 4 hops), but when I hit the 5th, it jumps to 800+. Anyone know if this ser8-0-0.elsgca-rt1-we.mediaone.net is located in the Los Angelos area? The IP address of it is 24.130.0.173. Anyone know anything about this? Any help is appreciated.
