Seems like just about any request for a site outside of Comcrap's network is poinging from router to router to router to router -- inside Comcrap's own network. Here, for instance, is how it gets to AOL.COM (something important to my wifely person):
E:\>tracert aol.comTracing route to aol.com [205.188.142.182]
over a maximum of 30 hops:1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms router [192.168.0.1]

And that's just the first 12 hops.
Comcrapular! (And it's identical no matter where I go, which explains why my Remote Desktop sessions to work have been so damn sluggish.)
WHY can't AT&T get off their ass and hook up that damn U-verse box? I would switch so fast, heads would spin.
