Verizon NJ <-> Hetzner DE, routes via LA?

Wed May 18 14:22:02 UTC 2022

Since yesterday, I've started to see an increase in latency between my 
self in NJ on Verizon FIOS and Hetzner in DE. Even using Verizon:s 
looking glass is giving me 250ms. This is an increase of about 150ms 
(Seems to be true for most of the US East Coast)
A traceroute seems to tell me that the traffic is routed via LA, which 
could explain the increase in latency.

Traceroute from Verizon looking glass page, sourcing Newark

Does anyone have any more insight? (Verizon status pages says everything 
is fine, ofc)
