Notice on the 16th hop from the server to me is 113.... And yet my ping in games are 113... AOL support have been helpless so I think i'm gonna help the find the problem....

I just need to know whats below:
AC953C97.ipt.aol.com = Router or Server or something else?

I'd say it's a router or proxy server..

are you on aol plus dsl? cuz i am too

Yes indeed :)

I seem to vaugely remember that ipt.aol.com was some kind of proxy server back in the day when I was a beta tester for GNN (anyone remember that?)...
