I'm a online gamer, and when I connect to a few servers there is a hop on my system to IP 12.119.137.90. It is really inconsistent in ping, and has very bad packet loss, I was wondering if there was a way for me to change this hop, or bypass it.

Tracing route to 227.216-86-152.nozonenet.com [216.86.152.227]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Not really much you can do about it.

You can try AT&T support and they may look at it.
 
Since the hops after it aren't showing similar spikes in latency, that hop is likely giving low priority to ICMP packets. In other words, it isn't effecting your gaming.
 
Basicaly what JTY said.... If it truely were affecting your connection you should see the loss / high latency on the routers after that one in the list. I do see a spike on the graph on the next hop router, but not the one after that. Have you tryed pinging the server directly?
 
Okay, it happens to just about everyone around me when we connect to chicago severs. we all get a lot of loss/choke ingame, looking at our netgraphs. To thoes that said it won't effect the game's packets, then why would it be so bad ingame, and most other servers the most I ever see is 2-3 choke. When I ping it it seems to stay pretty cloes +/- 10 or so. Its not so much the ping ingame (although it does go nuts on ventrillo).
 
not much you can do about it other than switch isps
