I am showing, typically at night, a 20-40ms jump when hopping from Level3 to
Time Warner and back in Tustin, CA. This does not happen when using Cogent or
other blended providers bandwidth. I believe they are probably stuffing too
many bits thru the peering there and wondering whats the best way to prove to
them both (we pay for both) that they need to fix it.
During non-peak traffic times these look normal (sub 10s).

This latency usually means a change in the return path as you cross an AS
boundry.
The first AS may have a local peering for the best return path while the
2nd AS on the return path has to go to a different region to take the bgp
best path
Is it Friday already? Or is this not a troll email? Its hard to tell.
If its not a troll: Put up some smokeping boxes. Graph it for a few nights. Gather details. Send us those. That is far more interesting/(damning?)
If its a troll: *grabs popcorn and gets comfortable* . we've not had a good "zomg the pipes, they are teh fullz, woe is Netflix" (and the obligatory cgn/v6/software vs hardware router sub thread divergences).
