Trace complete.
I'm curious why step 1 (to my router) should be so much slower than the rest. Has it any particular significance?
-
No significance at all. It's just an indication that your router is prioritising through traffic (its actual work) and giving a low priority to the ping response. You'll often find some of the hops on a tracert timing out or returning high values for the same reason. From a performance point of view, all that matters is the value shown against the last hop (the destination).

Thank you for adding more to my understanding ;D
