Every time I have this disconnect issue it is these hops that are broken.

Unfortunately this isn't something we can fix. It's not a problem on our end - it's a proplem with the way Charter/TWC routs their customers to get to our server.
The internet works by sending your packets through a series of "hops" that go from router to router in succession. Packets try to take the most logical/efficient route to their destination. Sometimes there are "broken links" in the path being taken to the destination - this is bad for game like EQ, which will time out very quickly upon load in (if you break connection for a few seconds, EQ will disconnect you while zoning or entering the world from character select). If one of the "hops" along your packets route is timing out - like we can see in the above screenshot - that's a problem with your provider.
I'm sorry to say I don't have many recommendations. I looked into this problem a while back and found similar issues occurring on other MMORPG's, such as certain WoW servers. It seems charter/TWC is a common culprit. Getting a new IP (and thus *possibly* getting a new route depending on where your new IP gets routed to) may work, as would signing up with a different ISP. If this is too drastic or you don't have any other options, use your phone as a mobile hotspot - EQ uses very little data and doesn't require a very fast connection. Even 3g should suffice.
I wish we could offer more help but it's simply out of our control. I can almost guarantee everyone having consistent connection issues will have a similar traceroute as the one listed above when they have connection issues. Because the problem is along the way to our box, rather than at our box itself, there's nothing we can do =X.
