If you are trying to track down network problems, I've found above.net's list of remotely accessibly traceroutes useful. Also, the traceroute located at (http://www.above.net/cgi-bin/trace ) will tell you how many packets were dropped out of 10. above.net By the way since this is a financial discussion site, Above.net recently filed for an IPO.

Try running traceroute on "www.above.net" or "w3health.com" (a site hosted at above.net) and compare the number of hops. Here's their S1 filing: edgar.sec.gov
