High ping to certain websistes/services

Certain services (mostly google owned) will have a ping >40ms while others will be <5ms

Which sites have high/low latency is consistent

The big problem for me is the latency to my network at work is high, and that becomes an issue with using a selfhosted vpn(wireguard) to be on my home network.

I occasionally have to manage home devices/remote on to my home desktop, and this latency is killing me

I do not use the google provided router, and instead have used an old cisco router. I did test with the google provided router and was having the same results in terms of where was high latency. I have just upgraded my router to a server running opnsense, and the issue is still there.

The timing of this popping up seems to be when i had my fiber jack "upgraded" to the current model, as the old one was failing, but im not too sure if that was the cause. This issue has been plaguing me for like 4-6mos at this point, and i was really hoping the new router would just make it go away.

Im located in salt lake city if anyone else wants to test this, i suspect that its a routing issue going out from our region

Quick test is to ping 8.8.8.8(google dns) and ping will be >40ms, then to ping 1.1.1.1(cloudflare dns) and ping is 1-3ms

This all is driving me so crazy trying to get this back to how it was where every site/ip was <5ms

A rough traceroute leads me to believe the majority of this latency is coming from "23-255-225-42.googlefiber.net" and "23-255-225-248.googlefiber.net" but thats a bit hard for me to look further into at this moment, so im likely wrong.
