Network Routing Issue

I am currently travelling in Europe and am experiencing extremely slow response from my home server in Sopanaway, WA.
My modem has been assigned the WAN IP [Edited: "Personal Information"], and this IP block is being routed internationally or through a distant region.
Symptoms:
Latency to my own server: 176–181 ms
Throughput: 4 KB/s
No packet loss
Local LAN: normal
Gateway speed test: 900 Mbps
Traceroute Analysis:
The path shows long‑haul routing consistent with a mis‑advertised BGP route or incorrect geolocation of the assigned IP block.
This is not a local equipment issue.
This is an upstream routing issue tied to the assigned WAN IP block.
Expected domestic latency: 10–40 ms
Observed latency: 180 ms
This indicates the IP block is being routed through a distant region before returning, causing TCP window collapse and unusable upstream performance.
Request:
Please release my DHCP lease and assign a new IPv4 address from a different pool. Please inform me via text message of my new WAN IP so I can update my DDNS.
The current block is mis‑routed and unsuitable for normal service.
If needed, please escalate to Tier‑2 or a network engineer.
Thank you.
