Wanted to first ask why this topic is still sticked?

Look at the first hop. It's over 300 ms. I live in the "lower 48" and my ping to that first hop (cpe-66-91-168-1.hawaii.res.rr.com) is less than 80 ms. So I don't understand how if he actually lives in Hawaii has a ping three times greater than mine.
