Can someone assist with this traceroute to mybroadband.co.za

Seems to me like it goes to Cape Town and then Arizona in the US...

Routing looks normal here :)
It's still getting traffic from a local CDN, via CloudFlare.
 
Trying to send Afriguy pics of my trace route results but tinypic is sucking ass, is there another way to send pics in a pm?
 
Sent the second pic that was using internet apn, used imgur.

If I'm reading it correctly there's seems to be much more request timed out on the Afrihost APN which I take as lost packets?
Overall the latency seems to be much better with internet APN

My speeds are a bit better now staying between 5mb and 10mb but still not as high as LTE should be don't you think?

Mine with Afrihost APN averages 300 - 400 ms but with MTN APN get about 70 - 90 ms and on Afrihost much more stars and request timed out.

That's my latest trace route with Afrihost APN better latency than it has been but surely whats with all the timed out requests?

This is what it looks like done with MTN APN I did earlier

Ok for some reason the quality of that pic sucks but you can see I ran three trace routes and there was nowhere nears as much request time out.
