[wplug] Verizon misconfiguration?

[Janos Dohanics]

Yesterday the connection in my house started to get really slow. I have 
Verizon DSL.

Casual pinging (www.verizon.net) shows:

--- www.verizon.net ping statistics ---
114 packets transmitted, 99 packets received, 13% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 439.650/455.840/501.936/15.334 ms

Pretty long ping times...

So, I did traceroute:

$ traceroute www.verizon.net

Hmm... my gateway is 10.61.70.1 - why is the next hop 10.6.8.1? I only have a 
10.61.70.0/24 LAN, and no 10.6.xxx.xxx network.

Is Verizon misconfigured, or am I missing something?
