ICMP isn't always your best bet in troubleshooting, since so many networks now block it. Ive found that iperf, layer 4 traceroute, and similar tools, will give a very good view of your bandwidth. I've also found that cURL, which can time its transactions (and split the timing between name resolution and data transfer) to be extremely useful for troubleshooting.
