Not really anything I need assistance, but I find this very sad..
WAN1 is my Xfinity connection and WAN2 is my Frontier fiber. I just find it sad that latency from my Xfinity connection in WV to my Xfinity connect in VA through the Xfinity backbone is almost double that from my Frontier fiber. Xfinity always putting out all the great things about their own cross country backbone network, but in reality, it seems it is not so good when it comes down to optimal routing and latency.
