First of all, I am aware this question has been asked before in here, here and here. But it didn't have the answer I needed.
so here are my traceroute results:

As you can see there are multiple private IP addresses in hops 3-7, and their latency is pretty high, which led me to believe that this may be a sort of Man In The Middle attack or something like that, as a user mentioned this possibility in this question.
So what I'd like to know is whether this is a Man In The Middle attack, and if so how can I fix it ?
"More than likely those intermediate routers are slow responding to pings as they have been configured to prioritize through traffic." is more than likely a big part of the latency. – DrZoo – 2019-03-15T22:56:26.700
@DrZoo Yeah, reworded a bit to clarify. – DavidPostill – 2019-03-15T22:58:27.150
