Anyone know if Verizon static IP's over LTE have same issue where they
bounce the traffic around before it gets back to the NY metro area?

All,

Thanks for all of the feedback. I was on site today and noticed two things.
1) As someone mentioned it could be for static IP's they have the traffic
going to a specific location. The POP is in NJ there was a min. latency of
120ms which prob had to do with this.
2) I was watching the ping times and it looked something like this:
400ms
360ms
330ms
300ms
260ms
210ms
170ms
140ms
120ms
400ms
375ms

It seems to have been coming in "waves". I assume this has to do with "how
cellular work" and the signal. I tried moving it around by putting it down
low on the floor, moving it locations etc. and saw the same thing every
time. I am going to try Verizon next and see how it goes.

I finally got around to setting up a cellular backup device in our new
POP.

When SSH'ing in remotely the connection seems rather slow.

Perhaps using MOSH can help make the interactive CLI session less
annoying.

Verizon they charge $500.00 just to get a public IP and I want to avoid
that if possible.

You might look into have it call out / maintain a connection back to
your infrastructure.
