I was wondering if the wonderful members of this list could provide their opinions regarding the traceroute below. I have contacted sprint several times regarding this issue and their noc keeps coming back with "no trouble found". Am I barking up the wrong up the wrong tree? I'm experiencing packetloss and large amounts of delay at hop 8. Both of my T providers say they cant do anything to help me.
