My traceroute to you shows that you home to AS 2548, which is. If so, this might be connected to the RAMEN worm. This is hosing up native multicast but good, so much so that it is affecting routers and causing some unicast problems. I heard, for example, that it is causing 4% packet loss at the Abilene NOC. RAMEN is (for the multicast enabled part of the Internet) effectively a DOS attack.
