After some further troubleshooting, I believe I have narrowed down the issue to one of Verizon's routers (130.81.28.255). ping 130.81.28.255 repeat 100 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 100, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 130.81.28.255, timeout is 2 seconds: ?!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!?!!! Success rate is 91 percent (91/100), round-trip min/avg/max = 20/26/30 ms I had my client send me the output of the ping command (100 pings) and a trace route. Their 5th hop is 130.81.28.254 and one of the response times in their trace route was 175ms so the issue seems to be around there. I asked them to open a ticket with Verizon to take a look.

This is not the proper way to interpret traceroute information. Also, 3 pings is not sufficient to determine levels of packet loss statistically.
I suggest searching the archives regarding traceroute, or googling how to interpret them in regards to packet loss, as what you posted does not indicate what you think it does.
Agreed. Derek should read "A Practical Guide to (Correctly) Troubleshooting with Traceroute": http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/presentations/Sunday/RAS_traceroute_N4...
