Just to add to the entertainment, I'm on the crap route as well. Here's the trace from Southern Oregon. Yay Quest for routing this the hard way - I'm right on I-5 and the trunk line to Mae West is buried 30 feet from my house. But no, my packets need to do a Grand Tour, and get chomped by telia's mishap, whatever that is.
