I remember helping my mother install DSL years ago. It didn't work. I spent some time on the phone, getting bumped up the support chain. Finally, I got impatient and ran traceroute (actually tracert under Windows), and gave the IP address of the failed router to the engineer I was speaking to. I was thanked profusely, and they told me that they had been swamped with calls from people having trouble with their DSL.
