A while back (maybe a month? not sure), the external IP assigned to my Uverse modem. I live in CT and the lookup for the new IP says I'm in AZ. This has cause some geolocation problems with some video services.
But the most annoying thing is that I've started getting weird spiky latency problems in the game I play most (Path of Exile). My ping is normally around 70-100ms, but when I'm playing, it'll frequently spike up to 400ms or higher for a second or two. This happens every 5-10s. It is really annoying.
My 2wire router is configured in DMZ mode, passing the external IP to an Asus RT-16N running Tomato that manages the internal network.
I spoke to a Uverse tech support guy last night and he was incredibly knowledgeable (he didn't tell me to get lost after hearing about my internal setup), but he was unable to tell me why my IP is in AZ or why I might be experiencing the latency. He suggested I switch back to AT&T's DNS servers from Google's, but that didn't seem to change anything.
Below is a WinMTR log to Path of Exile's login server. It seems like that 32.210.40.2 hop is causing problems.
Anyone know why my IP changed to somewhere in Phoenix? Any suggestions for solving this problem?
