100% loss on that test (a trace route) means that the destination is blocking icmp packets/pings used for trace routing. It appears YOU are the destination, so you must have some sort of firewall installed or your ISP is blocking pings/icmp packets - no worries, best case actually; safest condition. As for overall response time, 58ms isnt too shabby

Have you considered the fact the servers you play on are just laggy w/many users?

Otherwise, the first thing I would do is ping my gateway. If that response time sucks, then you can complain to your ISP about your connection. Anything beyond that, unless you're paying $10,000/month for your connection, your ISP probably won't/can't do anything about it. Chock it up to general 'net traffic.
