There is also hard coded stuff routing you through a power company that provides internet access. Power companies have known signal problems due to the 60hz hum.

They also have you hard coded to go through Defender Technologies Inc servers and keepitsecure.net twice each. Both times the traffic hits 2 diff subnets per company. It goes to Defender Technologies Inc, then to keepitsecure.net, than back to Defender Technologies Inc, then back to keepitsecure.net AGAIN before going to the rest of the hops. Not sue why, but that is bad as far as traffic goes. They are most likely sniffing packets for virus and spam activity.
