I had this issue while looking at Ripe Atlas measurements.

Turns out these Verizon boxes spoof ICMP with TTL = 3 (or 2, I don't recall). Try doing a UDP or TCP based traceroute instead.

Maybe you're seeing the same problem.

Kind Regards,
Filip

Anyone have an idea why there are some destinations that on residential verizon fios here in NY area terminate right on first external hop?

There seems to be a CDN common denominator here. On other networks with more typical BGP paths and traceroutes, users are reporting issues accessing these sites.
