Hello Leah,
Yes and no, not anymore.

After 2 days of phone chattery we managed someone to skip San Jose, San
Francisco and the whole SF Bay area, routing us via Fresno-Modesto to reach
Sacramento. Latency increased a bit but overall quality was restored.
So yes, somehow I can confirm there's something going on with apparent isolated
issues on Bay Area, specially near San Jose. Seems isolated because from what I
noticed on phone it was "only me". And now you.
