Poor speeds and such

Question

Hello, very recently (with in the past two days) I have been experiencing some bad latency, or I assume it is what every one is talking about. I have a new Westell router that verizon gave us when we upgraded to high speed pritty recently.  I ran a tracert verizon.com and got the following
C:\USERS\NATE>tracert verizon.com
Tracing route to verizon.com [192.76.85.245]

I am a novince at best when it comes to this stuff learning as i go but from what i understand this issues ping # 2 is with the router in my immediate area. I noticed it happening over the weekend and before that things were normal. It wasn't till tonight that getting into an online match  on x-box live for Call of Duty became impossible and my internet was running slower than normal. I decided to look into it and I hope you can help me out. I know we have some unusually high winds tonight but I doubt that has anything to do with it. I will continue running tracert and keep you up dated. If it continues i will contact verizon by phone if neccessary.  Thanks.

Answer 1

ok an update from this morning and some aditional info from my router....
the tracert to verizon.com is the same type of speeds as posted above. when i get back to work i will post more about my router spec but i got work now.
Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 7645/ 863 Margin (dB) 18.6 13.8 Line Attenuation (dB) 16.5 /7.7 Transmit Power (dBm) 7.1/
12.4
sorry tried to post it in a table but did't work the first number is upstream then down stream.
