I just tried a tracert to Reefcentral (my connection is working fine). I got valid hop info right up to and including the RC site itself (i.e no Time outs). I know that places do block ICMP packets but maybe RC isn't doing it uniformly?
It depends on what you're tracerouting. Ther is a load balancer in front of the webserver cluster. If you try going to a specific machine within the cluster, you'll get an ICMP timeout.
