Was digging through and answering some unanswered post since the OP's are still active.
When you do a tracert, the result marked as 1 is from your computer to what that computer is connected to.All devices in a network have two IP address. The IP their getting, and the IP their giving. In between the two is the gateway. In this case, your router is getting the IP of 64.233.169.106 and its giving the IP of (for example) 192.168.0.25 and the gateway is 192.168.0.1.So the first hop is from 192.168.0.25 to 64.233.169.106, and that traffic was delayed about 10ms. This is be because your router gives ICMP return traffic a priority of 255. (Remeber gamefuel automatically classifies by default, so ICMP traffic is given the lowest priority, and rightfully so).
The next hop is from the IP the router is getting, to the IP the modem is getting. Hop after that is...well that gets more complicated, but hopefully that shed some light on it.
PS. When doing a tracert, if you notice the name (or domain) of the IP is taking a long time to come up, use Tracert -d <name of site> instead. This keeps your computer having to do a domain query to your DNS at each hop which is causing the delay.
