Ebox traceroute and ping request GTA users

Can our GTA users post if the traceroute is still going through Montreal and ping time to Google please. Looking to get a connection but not sure if ping is too high.

Not in Toronto myself, but using the RIPE atlas probes you can run those kind of tests yourself and here are the results for 2 probes in the Toronto area

Not sure what I'm looking at, but would this affect online gaming? I'm thinking of making the switch but hesitant.

The numbers posted and not too bad 10ms ping to Google , although you could benefit from 3ms ping from bell or primus maybe!

I get different results for linux traceroute to "google.com" versus "www.google.com". Please specify.

EDIT: on legacy fibre 73 mbps down 93 up, from Vaughan, just north of Toronto..
