This this just start recently?

If you've ruled out saturation (CPU, memory, interface utilization, 
etc) on the routers and traffic going across the circuit as issues, I'd 
check with the telco to see if they re-groomed your circuit at some point.
Request the physical path routing for the circuit, or request a DLR.  If 
they refuse, ask to speak to a supervisor.

I had a Worldcom circuit once from Pittsburgh to Erie, PA, that had 130ms 
latency during our turnup/acceptance testing.  Ended up it went from 
Pittsburgh to Chicago to Washington DC to Raleigh to Cleveland to Erie 
:-)  They fixed it when I told them I wasn't going to accept the circuit 
because it was way outside the terms of our SLA.
