Change in RTT
This plot below shows that the change from Satlink to terrestrial took place in a few steps. First on 14th Jan, one way route was changed to terrestial.

This figure shows that even though the RTT has reduced, the jitter and packet Loss are both quite high.

This shows the traceroute when the first change occured. The packet goes from SLAC to a router in Sunnyvale (sunncr1-sunnsdn2.es.net) ; then to Florida (176.52.254.254 found using TULIP)
cant locate
176.52.249.97
or
84.16.8.106
both are in Europe according to GeoIPTool but seem to be in Latin America
and then goes through a node (200.0.16.105) on Satlink.

This is when the route first changed to terrestrial. It goes from Sunnyvale to Florida( 176.52.254.254 ) to Cuba ( 84.16.8.106 Telefonica ).

This is the final shift to terrestial link. It goes from SLAC to sunnyvale then to Flordia (94.142.121.133 found using TULIP) and from here moves to Latin America (Cuba) on Fibre. This is just a different route. There are two carriers available i.e. Tata and Telefonica. Tata shows better latency than Telefonica. {Renesys}
