I'm not seeing any loss on our side. This is from the first Comcast router
you hit:

#ping 192.30.252.129 size 1000 count 1000
Wed Oct 22 16:34:46.957 utc
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1000, 1000-byte ICMP Echos to 192.30.252.129, timeout is 2 seconds:

>From that same router back to the first hop in your trace:

#ping 200.147.29.137 count 500
Wed Oct 22 16:36:59.522 utc
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 500, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.147.29.137, timeout is 2 seconds:

Long RTT, but it's long distance, so totally what I'd expect. What's
interesting to me is the huge RTT in your trace. You might want to check
with Highwinds Network Group or Universo Online to see if they can
troubleshoot from their network back to you. The path on our side looks
good from initial observations.
