Chris,

You need to provide traceroutes from both directions.  The below is for
Dallas --> Denver, but the return path (Denver --> Dallas) needs to be
provided too.  You might find that the return path goes through some
provider other than Zayo/360/Abovenet/whateverthey'recalledtoday.

I know that's hard to do when the path has latency or packet loss (which
you don't show in your results -- you only show latency), but this is
exactly what a cronjob traceroute writing to a log file is for.  :-)

My point: remember that routing on the Internet most of the time is
asymmetric.  Reference material (read, do not skim):

Finally, you didn't provide IP addresses of either server (in Denver or
Dallas), so when you ask for "someone else to test", that's not easily
doable, at least not to the endpoints involved (pinging routers is not
sufficient evidence, sadly).
