'lost packets' on traces from intermediate hops aren't significant, as 
most routers treat PING as a low priority and if they are busy doing 
their primary routing job, they'll ignore some percentage of pings.

traceroute and its ilk are very inexact tools.     your MTR command, run 
from a San Jose, California machine, gives...
