I am signed up with service through Comcast (te-9-1-ur02.churchville.md.bad.comcast.net). I notice that my traffic now makes an extra hop to (te-7-2-ar01.whitemarsh.md.bad.comcast.net), which doesn't make sense. It never has done that before. That is the major POP for an adjoining county in this state.
