I recently Rented a Dedicated Server In Denver colorado (or so they say) and i live in colorado springs. (denver ip 76.73.35.114) and when i trace router it instead of going straigh to denver it goes to Dallas to los angeles to some other place then to Montrail, canada then to denver.

Tracing route to . [76.73.35.114]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 45 ms 47 ms 47 ms 67-134-98-2.dia.static.qwest.net [67.134.98.2]
2 30 ms 29 ms 29 ms 72.164.48.1

4 31 ms 30 ms 30 ms cls-core-02.inet.qwest.net [205.171.152.37]

13 * 114 ms * 209.58.57.18
14 107 ms 107 ms 127 ms . [76.73.35.114]

Trace complete.

When i search google to find where the 76.73.35.114 comes from they say Illinois.

But my Provider swears Denver Colorado. and im getting 127 ms when its only 50 miles away and i have friend in Califorina whos getting 70 ms and is over 1000 miles away.

My Connection is

760kb/s down
760kb/s up

I guess my question is... is the server really located in Denver? if so why does the trace route jump to dallas ect ect.

Thanks any help on this matter would be great!
 
From what i see the IP for the server is located in Illinois. So they must be using some sort of masking or something to make it show up as Denver.

I took some screenshots as i did a trace route on it myself. even i get upward of 60-80ms latency on the server from NY.
