I think we've been through and through tele-ic-1 / 2 - unless there are packets being dropped behind those routers on the traceroutes that are being shown not interested as it's not indicative of a fault.

Try tracing through a foundry based network you'll see similar results but no spikes at the other end - routers are there to route, not answer pings, and so long as they are delivering packets to the nodes behind them in a timely fashion there's no fault:

3 181 ms 16 ms 16 ms 82-197-65-225.hi-velocity.net [82.197.65.225] <<< spike due to it being a foundry box, no spike on node behind, no fault!
4 17 ms 18 ms 18 ms 82.197.95.122

Please also remember that tele-ic-2 connects to LINX and necessarily carries a full internet table, when its' routes are being updated is it any surprise it's busy? It's routing and switching fabrics are unaffected by this, so no worries.
