  Specs of your PC don't have much to do with latency. The bolded hop I've highlighted on your trace has been rather problematic over the last few months.

  To add to the previous poster:
  
  It's true, cogentco has been identified as a problem child in the world of ISP's. Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it shy of contacting them and hoping they'll figure out what's really going on. Sadly, it's truly on their side.
  
  I wish you the best in this...
  
  Oh yeah! Before I forget, I've considered this issue and was thinking that perhaps if you setup a proxy server to go through before cogentco get's it's greasy hands all over your packets, you might be able to avoid all of this, at least until they pull their heads out that is LOL.

  I'll also add to this that you make sure you're using the proxy for STO/CO only. If you play any other PWE games, well...they don't like proxies much. Could cause some account issues.
  
  If you don't play any other PWE games besides STO, you'll be all right.
