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.
