Your modem sent 3 test data packets to determine how many servers it
connects to before reaching the destination and their lag times.
I ran the same tracert and I hit 4 Earthlink servers, 2 routers, and 2
servers
in your Ionet before final destination www.ionet.net.
If you have to make 13 or more hops to connect that's too many.
Also, if you experience high lag times with your ISP all the time you may
want to change.
Your results look fine.
I'm glad you tried it.
Now try it on web sites you frequently have delays and determine if the
high lag times are from your ISP or the rest of the world.
