I'm using a cable modem here in Dana Point, California (Orange County). I tried
this TRACERT command and this what I got, which you can use for comparison
purposes:

C:\WINDOWS>TRACERT site2936.dellhost.com

Tracing route to site2936.dellhost.com [209.235.107.4]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

I hope you guys find this helpful.

BTW, I had an analogous problem with my cable modem using ICC, which is even
_more_ annoying. Sometimes PING times of over a minute. I seriously considered
discontinuing my membership there, but then ICC made some upgrades and my
problem disappeared. A recent PING time result I got at ICC was 88ms ;-).
Sometimes you're just unlucky with certain sites. It's not your cable modem.
It's the the rest of the world that can't keep up with you. Either it's the site
or the route there that nails you. Be patient and the problem will go away,
hopefully.
