If every hop is slow, then I would suspect the bottleneck is local to your network. IE. your router, your NIC or some other local device.

That is just my somewhat uneducated guess...

Like everyone else in IT I get a lot of "the internet is slow"... without going into all the details, I'll often run traceroute to a known target (in my case, www.bikefriday.com) as a comparison.

When the net is "fast" it goes thru all 15 hops pretty quick, as you'd expect.

When it's "slow", *all* the hops are slow.

I'd expect there to be a bottleneck at some leg, but not everywhere.

I don't know how to interpret what traceroute is telling me when I see this.

Could we be sending out bad packets from time to time, i.e. we ourselves are screwing everything up?
