Routing issue to tsrv1.den1 (probably a CenturyLink issue)

I'm in Denver on CenturyLink (AS209) and used to route to tsrv1.den1 without leaving Denver.  Sometime in the recent past though, CL has been routing me to Dallas to to get to the HE network which then sends me back to Denver via Kansas City.   The loop causes my 60/30 DSL to act like 25/20 for IPV6.

CenturyLink was no help of course.  This was their response...

QuoteThank you for contacting CenturyLink.

Can you guys help at all?

Same issue here. I used to get to the Denver tunnel with almost zero latency, now I get about 45ms added to my ping time via IPv4 to the tunnel IP:
