I did a similar trace route to dsl-only.net

I don't know much about trace route and such, but from what I've posted, does it look like there could be something wrong.  I'm on a cable modem (Comcast) with a Netgear router.

I'll say you have a problem.

Thats seven hops INSIDE the cable companies network. These are all local non routeable internet ip addresses. My cable usually only takes 4 hops to make it to the actual net. local IP/ROUTER/CABLE COMPANY/FIRST INTERNET ROUTER. Send this info to your cable company. They need to fix the routing somewhere.
