Non-optimal route from Verizon Wireless West Coast to Cloudflare

[cheungtifan]

Looks like the traffic from the west coast was routed to Santiago for some reason. I verified in both SFBA and LA area, and the route looks off.

Here’s an example traceroute from West LA:

vgw#traceroute vrf TRANSIT_VZW 1.1.1.1 numeric

Anyone else noticing this?
